      <title>Supper Club (7 Dec 2050)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Every second&amp;nbsp; month, join other Probus members to dine out at some of Vancouver’s finest restaurants. We’ll choose a restaurant, let you know where and when, and you let us know if you’re available to join and we’ll make the reservation. Multiple tables for 6, and we’ll mix up the seating for each event. Not only will you eat great food, you’ll make great friends. If the numbers permit, we may even grab a private room, and all sit together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
