  NSW Seniors Card e-News July 2008
Competitions Special Offers Discounts Events

Dear Seniors Card member 

If you have visited the Seniors Card website recently you will have noticed some fantastic improvements to the home page. For lovers of puzzles, Seniors Card has teamed up with Lovatts Puzzles to provide you with crosswords and sudoku – see below for more information. The other great addition to the website is a digital version of the Seniors Card directories. This means you can view your discounts online in a booklet format, or download them to your computer for future reference.

Don’t forget, if you are looking for something to do this weekend, why not visit the Seniors Card stand (number 36) at the Retirement and Lifestyle Expo at Rosehill Gardens.

Kind regards

The Seniors Card team
