Annette Spykerman —  Vice President

I am a Clinical Psychologist, still in very part time practice, which provides much fulfillment.  I have a lifelong interest in people and their stories and feel that I will never stop learning. 

Nature is my “reset button” — whether it’s a gentle Probus  walk or something a little more adventurous.

Music, art and books keep my curiosity fed, and remind me that one lifetime may not be nearly enough.I believe that small acts of kindness quietly reshape the world — and that adventure is always worth saying yes to.

I joined Probus for community — and unexpectedly discovered friendship, purpose and meaning. As Vice-President, I hope to help the Club thrive as a supportive space where we may enjoy Life together to the fullest. 

In Dec 2024 Annette composed and read a delightful poem which captured so much of the spirit of Probus:
