As you make your own travel plans for the coming months, my own include visits to some of our chapters.  

Last week I was thrilled to celebrate the 5th Anniversary of our Santa Fe chapter with the wonderful and warm members there.  I learned that Santa Fe attracts women from all over the country, some of whomstill yearn for their home roots.  But finding TTN has provided them with a supportive community of women who share their hopes and dreams.  

This week, I'll be visiting Minneapolis. Yes, Minneapolis!  We've been working with some dedicated chapter founders to launch a chapter and we're getting very close.  The Spring Pot Luck get-together seemed like the perfect venue to get up close and personal with the women who believe in the mission and want to see "MSP" on the TTN map.  

I can't wait to share with them all the possibilities that lie ahead when they achieve official chapter status. Remember when your chapter was born or when you first found TTN? Remember the comfort of the women in your transition peer group or your first chapter event when the room got so loud because the members were discovering how much they all had in common?  I remember those days in Philadelphia and all the days since, discovering my own impact.

Whatever your summer plans may be, I hope they are as exciting and rewarding as my visits to our chapters are for me.  I feel so grateful for the opportunity.
