Great tips and glad tidings for 2024
Living Gems homeowners have plenty to look forward to in their wonderful, active communities. As the bells ring in a brand-new year, a few share their wisdom and hope for the next 12 months.
“Most years our resolution is to lose weight but this year we’re looking forward to our latest challenge, having volunteered to work in the bar when our new Country Club opens. It’s a great way to meet people and we want to meet as many as possible.”
Irene and Larry Clifford, Amber by Living Gems
“We’d like to travel more in 2024. There are plenty of places in Australia that we haven’t seen and some we have that we’d like to go back to. We have two trips already planned.”
Lance and Aileen Cause, Living Gems Caboolture Riverfront
“We’re looking forward to our new Country Club and being able to socialise more with everyone. With all the fabulous new facilities, we also plan to exercise more by using the new pool and maybe doing a bit of dancing.”
