SANTA FE CHAPTER CELEBRATES OUR
SECOND ANNIVERSARY
A heartfelt "thank you" to everyone who made the afternoon so
special. Barbara Beizer, TTN Board President, came from Washington, DC, to help us celebrate. She also masterfully moderated a conversation about transition with Patty Armstrong, Pat Shapiro, and Patty Smith.
Our thanks also go to all Steering Committee members for the planning, Portia Blackman for the behind-the-scenes work, and Jeanne Roos for making sure that everyone had at least
one helping of the birthday cake! Special thanks to our guest, Lisa Carman, singer, song writer, and music educator, for enlivening the celebration with her lovely songs. The closing "Blessing Song" by Marsie Silvestre was beautifully presented by Lisa, accompanied by Jean Palmer. Members Sue Latham, Maria Francis, and Ann Church as the Green Man, Tree of Life and Great Goddess, respectively, (pictured above) led us in a silly and joyous celebration of Spring.

Monthly Program Meetings
THIS MONTH'S MEETING CHANGED TO THE 3RD WEEK OF THE MONTH BECAUSE OF MEMORIAL DAY.

Unitarian Church, 107 West Barcelona, and
Tuesday, May 20
Time: 1:45 - 3:30pm

Our May speaker is Lorene Mills, host and producer of the weekly television show, "Report from Santa Fe." She'll speak on the issues and challenges of transition, especially in the context of her personal experience following the death of her husband.
Lorene Carpenter Mills began her career in academia, earning her PhD in Comparative Literature from the University of Colorado. Her studies took her around the world until she met Ernie Mills, the legendary New Mexico newsman. They were married in the early 1980s and settled in Santa Fe, NM. As a team, the couple produced a legislative newsletter, three daily radio broadcasts, and a weekly television show. Lorene was the editor, producer, and camerawoman until Ernie's death in 2003. In April 2003 Lorene stepped in front of the camera and the keyboard.
"Report from Santa Fe" airs statewide on the New Mexico PBS Network, which has carried the program for almost forty years. It is the preeminent public affairs program in the state.
