Coorparoo

The Coorparoo Branch is one of National Seniors' oldest branches - and very active socially. Our monthly meetings are held on the second Thursday each month (Feb-Nov) at the Coorparoo RSL Club with morning tea, guest speakers and activities. Arrival is at 10am for morning tea, with the guest speaker commencing at 10:30am followed by our general meeting finishing at approximately midday. The RSL is easily accessible by bus, but for those members wishing to drive there is an arrangement to park at the Coles Carpark across the road during meetings. We do however need to advise the parking company of car registration numbers so members are not booked unduly. Please advise committee member, Pat Will (phone 3398 8726 or 0437 774 049), of your vehicle registration number 48 hours before the meeting so she can pass on the relevant details.

Members also catch up on the third Monday each month at Easts Leagues Club for morning tea and a chat. There is ample free parking on site, or a short walk from the busway. We also host bi-monthly day bus trips to areas throughout south-east Queensland and northern NSW and well as local trips around Brisbane using public transport on the alternate months. These are great informal ways to get to know fellow members outside the confines of a branch meeting.

Our branch members are very passionate about giving back to our local community, where we support the not-for-profit charity Care Kits For Kids and a local food bank through donations of items each month, as well as knitting beanies and scarves throughout the colder months which are donated to the Mission to Seafarers Brisbane. We also support other deserving charities with cash donations throughout the year.

We are a small, friendly group and welcome new members and guests to any of our activities.
