The Addams Family,
We are all old enough to
remember that crazy show in
the 60’s ,
The Addams Family,
Broadway’s smash hit musical
comedy brings the deliriously
delightful world of Gomez,
Morticia, Uncle Fester,
Grandma, Wednesday,
Pugsley and Lurch to spooky
and spectacular life.
Starring John Waters, Chloë
Dallimore and Russell
Dykstra,
The Addams Family features
an original story and it’s
every father’s nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate
princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a
sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. And if that
weren’t upsetting enough, she confides in her father and begs
him not to tell her mother.
Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before
– keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will
change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a
dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.

CARER’S WEEK
Runs from 14th October until 20th October, 2012.
Randwick City Council in conjunction with the Ritz Cinema are proud
to celebrate Carers Week with a red carpet screening of the new
Australian movie Mental (MA15+) at 7pm on Thursday 4 October at
The Ritz Cinema, Randwick. This special Carers Week event will
include an introduction by guest speaker PJ Hogan, director of Men-
tal, which stars stars Toni Collette, Anthony Lapaglia, Rebecca Gib-
ney, Liev Schreiber and Deborah Mailman. The comedy/drama fol-
lows the story of the Moochmore girls who are certain they suffer
from some undiagnosed mental illness - because if they are not
crazy then they're just unpopular! Their mother Shirley (Gibney),
unable to cope with her demanding teenage daughters and philander-
ing politician husband, Barry (LaPaglia), suffers a nervous break-
down. After Barry commits his wife to a mental hospital (telling his
constituents that she's "on holiday") he finds himself alone with five
teenage girls he barely knows. Desperate, he impulsively picks up a
hitchhiker named Shaz (Collette) and installs her in his home as nanny
to his daughters. Everyone is welcome to attend the screening and
tickets are on sale through the Ritz Cinema at their usual great pric-
es! Visit www.ritzcinema.com.au or phone 9399 5722.
Also as part of Carer’s Week, Randwick Council have organised a
an interactive talking tour exploring:
• the colourful history of the Prince Henry Hospital
• the evolution of nursing
• what it was like to be a patient from the 1950s

Looks like everyone had
a great time at the
Graphic Arts Club
Many Probus Clubs have a number of inter-club activities, eg:
Bowls Day, Gardening Club, Movie Group, Golf Day, Dinner Group
etc., in the coming months we are going look into setting up other
activities within our club, if you have any suggestions please let me
know and especially if you would like to be involved setting up some
activity.
Cute Joke (Thanks Dorothy)
TWO DIFFERENT DOCTORS' OFFICES .....
(Boy, if this doesn't hit the nail on the head, I don't know what
does!)
Two patients limp into two different medical clinics with the same
complaint. Both have trouble walking and appear to require a hip
replacement.
The FIRST patient is examined within the hour, is x-rayed the
same day and has a time booked for surgery the following week.
The SECOND sees his family doctor after waiting 3 weeks for an
appointment, then waits 8 weeks to see a specialist, then gets an
x-ray, which isn't reviewed for another week and finally has his
surgery scheduled for 6 months from then.
Why the different treatment for the two patients?
..... the FIRST is a Golden Retriever.
..... the SECOND is a Senior Citizen.
Next time take me to a vet!
SEPTEMBER BIRTHDAYS

As you are all aware, under Probus Constitution, clubs are not able to
fundraise, however, as stated in the Probus Handbook “the club may
organise a ‘lucky door prize’ which would generate extra income for
the club, ensuring the clubs financial stability and would assist the
club in providing ‘regular meetings and arrange activities to provide
for fellowship, the development of acquaintance and social
interaction’. (Article II – Aims & Objects (b)). Monies realised from
such activities do not amount to fundraising because they are being
banked into the general funds of the club and have not been ‘
earmarked’ for a specific cause. Club monies may be used to
subsidise anniversary or club luncheons” Under this policy we do
charge $3 to cover morning tea and lucky door prizes, to keep cost
low we would be grateful for donations of goods that can be used for
prizes, nothing too big just something that can be wrapped up and in
turn won by lucky members.
Also, to try and reduce costs, I have contacted an organisation in
Maroubra to ask for sponsorship to cover future printing costs, as
yet a decision by the Directors of this company has not made , if
un-successful, I will try somewhere else until hopefully we find a
Sponsor.
I am just about to start the list for next years Guest Speaker, I
would really appreciate some help, if you know of anyone how would be
interesting to the group or a subject that you would like covered,
please let know, unfortunately we don’t have the resources to pay for
speakers, but we do give them a small gift of appreciation.

role and does take a bit time, however it is done willing for the
benefit of the club and members, but it is still your club and your
input is needed, and remember, when you signed your Application

Concept of Probus and to take an active role in both attendance and
participation of this club. I understand that the information
provided in this application forms part of the requirements of
