Competitions Special Offers Discounts Events

Dear NSW Seniors Card member

Welcome to the first winter edition of the E-newsletter.

In this newsletter we are introducing A rendezvous 'Just for Singles', our new tour provider for the single senior, see below for more information.

Although around 1,200 new members join the NSW Seniors Card program monthly, we also lose email contact with some members who forget to update us when their email address changes. So if you change your email address, remember to go to our website www.seniorscard.nsw.gov.au, click on Manage Your Card Details, then Change Your Details.

Come and visit the NSW Seniors Card stand at the Sydney Retirement and Lifestyle Expo at Rosehill Racecourse from 25 - 27 July, see our events page for more information. 

See you at the Expo!

Kind regards
The Seniors Card team

June gardening  

June gardening tips are supplied courtesy of Yates. 

Alyssum is one of those reliable flowers that looks fragile and delicate but has an inbuilt toughness that
makes it a great garden survivor. Alyssum tolerates a surprising amount of drought, adapts to full sun
or light shade and grows happily quite close to the sea.
