Details of these free sessions are listed in this edition, so don’t forget to keep the dates free and come and join us.

A new Burnie Brae initiative, our Centre based travel agency called Travel Connections was launched at the end of 2017. This exciting facility will usher in a new era of service to members and the wider community providing access to exceptional deals and savings with the quality of care that Burnie Brae is famous for. If you are planning a tour or just dreaming about it, a great place to start is with Burnie Brae Travel Connections right here at our Chermside Centre.

We have good news for all members who regularly come to Centre activities and events. Our Loyalty Rewards program has become more flexible and accumulated points can now be converted into Burnie Brae dollars which you can spend at the Centre for activities and services.
