See why you, and our chapter's other wonderful and diverse women, make us so successful. It takes a village to build the Philadelphia Chapter of TTN. Come celebrate with your village!
Find out who we are..... what we do...... and what we stand for. Where have we traveled this year? How many grandchildren do we have collectively? What do we do for work and play? Hear the answers to these and other questions as we describe the profile of our Philadelphia chapter members.
Wine and hors d'ouevres to follow. It's a TTN party!

| Summer Orientation for the Caring Collaborative on August 4 |

The Caring Collaborative, a service provided to members of our chapter, is based on the premise that most of us are determined to remain independent as we age. The goal of the Caring Collaborative is to create a supportive safety net to preserve and promote healthy independence by helping each other in times of short-term health needs or other personal crises.
In order to participate in the Caring Collaborative you must be a TTN member and attend an Orientation. The orientation includes:
- Information about the two Caring Collaborative programs: Member Information Exchange (MIX) and the Service Corps
- How your Caring Collaborative requests will work
- Discussion about confidentiality of shared information
- Video testimonial of a Caring Collaborative member
- Enrollment

Thursday, August 4th Orientation.

SIG Corner: Prepare To Add More SIGs In Your Life
|
|
|
|
|
Summertime, and the living is easy. But Fall is right around the corner. Those trips to the Shore and around the world will be less frequent and you may want more SIGs in your life! Please check out these
3 Special Interest Groups (SIGs) now forming:
1. Writer's Support Group: if you are trying to author a book, but need encouragement, why not band together with a group of fellow TTN'ers? This group will meet to write and discuss common roadblocks to writing, as well as the practical aspects of publishing, distribution, etc.
2. Night-Time Book Club: If you are still working during the day or just a night owl, consider the Night-Time book club! Book clubs are the SIGs with the most attendance. We have 8 of them already! If you aren't in one, or want to add one to your repertoire, consider this. The group will decide the details: when and where to meet, what to read, etc.
3. Suburban Walking/Hiking: I know its been hot, but Fall is just around the corner and crisp weather is meant for hiking! If you would like to "take a hike" in a supportive environment, consider this SIG.
And - have you considered the
Vegan Social Club? This SIG meets monthly to discuss the Vegan lifestyle as well as recipes, local restaurants that serve Vegan food, etc. You don't have to be a Vegan to belong. If you are considering eating more plants, check it out. SIG lead information is on the web page.
Many of the SIGs on the web page are open to new members. Now is the time to think about what you want your Fall to look like!

Backed by a seven-piece band, the ladies demonstrate the ageless relevance of this important genre in American music, tackling love's follies and stompin' the blues away.
