JUNE CHAPTER MEETING
Do you feel that your life has become a rapidly-changing series of life transitions? Many of these become financial transitions as well. Some are planned and some are totally unexpected. We'll take a look at some of the events that may be experienced at this stage of our lives - retirement, loss of a loved one, marriage / divorce, changes in health, inheritance. We'll discuss some of these in depth and how to make the most of what can be trying situations. You'll learn about resources available to you and receive many helpful tips.

Seeking Art Supplies to Make a Difference
TTNer,
Lynn Richards, is seeking art supplies for
weekly art sessions she provides to women recovering from drug and alcohol addiction in Oakland. In addition to the weekly art materials we supply for our groups, we give each woman a gift tote bag full of gently used art supplies upon their graduation from the six-month program. Our hope is that if they can continue to access their creativity on their own, their chances of staying sober will increase. For a complete list of art supplies needed, click HERE.

A REQUEST FROM BARBARA ASPELIN & THE TTN STEERING COMMITTEE
|
When you join TTN, you don't just belong to it, it belongs to you. What is remarkable and unique about TTN is that it is really a club, not just an organization whose membership benefits amount to little more than your name on a mailing list and a monthly newsletter.
You have opportunities to reap the rewards of your membership by meeting fascinating women and actively participating in monthly programs, peer groups and one or more of our many special interest groups.
Our chapter is almost 13 years old and as in many organizations, a few dedicated women have taken on roles to make sure the group thrives. However, the time has come to ask others in the organization to step up to leadership positions. Now more than ever we need your help to keep our chapter and its programs and activities vibrant and robust. We are looking for women who care deeply about TTN and the important role it plays in our lives, to join the leadership team. This, of course, involves a commitment of time and energy and you may have questions. We'll be happy to talk with you to discuss what these roles involve. Feel free to contact anyone on the Steering Committee for more information.

Alzheimers: Your Paperwork May Not Be In Order
 Jane Brody writes an important article for the NY Times where she claims, "Even those who have done due diligence - completed the appropriate forms, selected a health care agent and expressed their wishes to whoever may have to make medical decisions for them - may not realize that the documents typically do not cover a likely scenario for one of the leading causes of death in this country: dementia."

The Connection Between Retiring Early and Living Longer
Research shows a link, but it isn't retirement itself that leads to a longer life, but what you do in retirement. To read this full
