The Probus Club of Palm Coast has “twinned” with the city of Waikanae, New Zealand, according to a news release from the club.
Waikanae, pronounced “why can I,” is a coastal city on New Zealand’s northern island about 30 miles north of Wellington, with a population of approximately 15,000.
The name “Waikanae” is a Maori word meaning “waters of the grey mullet," and the city lies at the foothills of the Hemi Matenga, head of the Waikanae River, which snakes through sandy beaches, according to the news release.
The city is a popular retirement and beach holiday destination, with the Tasman Sea surf beach great for swimming and beachcombing, and a balance of nature and cultural activities.
Probus clubs are non-profit, non-political, non-fundraising, non-sectarian social clubs for retired and semi-retired men and women.
The Probus Club of Palm Coast meets at the Social Club of Palm Coast on the second Wednesday of each month at 11 a.m.
The speaker on June 14 is Palm Coast Fire Chief Kyle Berryhill.
All are welcome to attend. For more information, contact Larry Wright at [email protected].
