Deer Park Probus Club is on the lookout for new members.
President Peter Dimitrijevic said the club provides an opportunity for seniors in the community to create new friendships and have fun.
“I’m sure there are a lot of lonely people out there and for them to mix with other people, it’s a great organisation,’ Mr Dimitrijevic said.
On the second Wednesday of each month, members meet at the Deer Park club, 780 Ballarat Road, at 10am followed by lunch at noon.
The club also offers bus trips for outings and morning melodies too.
This year the wider Probus organisation will celebrate its 50th anniversary across Australia.
According to Probus, it supports more than 90,000 members across 1300 clubs nationwide.
Deer Park Probus Club marked the milestone this month with a morning tea.
“The morning went well. We provided scones, jam and cream for the members for the anniversary,” Mr Dimitrijevic said.
The Deer Park Probus Club, which started in 2004, will celebrate its 22nd year this April.
Probus members do not need to have retired to join but must be over the age of 55.
“We’ve got so many individuals but everybody seems to get on,” Mr Dimitrijevic said.
Those thinking about joining the club are allowed three visits to see if the group is for them.
“If you feel that you want to join, we’d be more than happy about that,” Mr Dimitrijevic said.
“We do welcome people with open arms and we are a friendly organisation.”
