If this is one of those days when you are thinking that things never change, that real progress never happens, then I wish you had been with me on my morning field trip to the south Edmonton Probus Club. Probus is an organization of retired professionals and businessmen who gather once a month to hear an invited presenter speak on a topic of interest, and also to socialize. A number of wives had accompanied them today. The first woman member was inducted into the club. The main item for discussion at their business meeting was the question of how to recruit more women.
Could I be dreaming, or is it only a generation ago that women were pounding at the doors of such gatherings and being refused entry for reasons said to be perfectly logical? Something basic and fundamental seems to have changed. What’s more, those carrying out the change are wanting to make it happen.
