Give Back Project for our returning soldiers
Mariner Shores is currently trialing a 20
week Give Back Project in conjunction
with the Australian Defense Force
(ADF). Each week, for 20 weeks, one
two bedroom apartment is made available
free of charge for a soldier returning from
active duty in Afghanistan to spend time
with his/her family in a relaxed holiday
environment without the normal every
day pressures.
General Manager, Mariner Shores, Mr.
Brent Schafer said that the ADF were
very pleased to accept this offer. “We
have met some incredible soldiers and
their families. These are the people who
take the big risks to make sure we here in
Australia remain safe and free and we are
pleased to assist where we can,” said Mr
Schafer. In other news, Mariner Shores
will be closing its doors temporarily in
November for refurbishing. See the full
article on page 39.
REMEMBERED NOT FORGOTTEN: Soldiers are
offered a dawn patrol of a very different kind at
Burleigh Heads by Mariner Shores. Soldiers can
take time to relax with their families at one of
Australia’s best beaches.
