Rewarding, very part-time opportunity
Stacey Palevsky works for Engage As You Age.
Since 2008, they have provided homebound and isolated seniors with social interaction, conversation and education in an effort to slow the progression of dementia and improve quality of life.
Engage is looking to hire a few good smart and compassionate people to work with several new clients in SF and the Peninsula. They have an immediate opening to work with an elderly man in Foster City. In this instance, visits will be weekly on Tuesdays for two hours at a time, so not a huge time commitment. This makes a great match for freelancers, consultants and artists because the schedule is so flexible and fits easily among other commitments.

NOVEMBER MONTHLY
TTN CHAPTER MEETING
EMBRACING TRANSITIONS AS OPPORTUNITIES
|
Do you ever get a nudge or a feeling of restlessness that urges you to change your life in some way? A longing to listen to that inner calling that you say you plan to get to sooner or later but just haven't found the time?
Transitions can be big or small. Our lives are filled with transitions , whether it is retirement, seeking more meaningful work, divorce, losing a loved one, older age or becoming an empty nester. While some changes are painful, others can be joyous. But with each transition there is an opportunity to re-think our lives and how we want to live. If we let these opportunities slip by, then the days, weeks and years just keep going on and our dreams risk going unfulfilled.
What would you love to do that you aren't doing now? What matters most to you?
Have you lost any momentum in moving forward? How do you feel about this time in your life? Let's talk. Sometimes it takes others to help nudge us along. Join us for a conversation on November 13
When: Monday, November 13 6:00-7:30
Where: 50 California Street; 10th Floor, SF
Members: Free Guests: $5.00

POP-UP ART GATHERING
|
 Making art together is a way of developing community and we hope you'll join us for this afternoon pop-up. It will also be a chance to see the new Merrill Gardens senior living residences.
We have space for six TTN members who would enjoy making a simple accordion book form together. These are small books that could be used as journals, poetry writing,
as a gift "card", a perfect place for small collages and in a myriad of other ways.
No experience is needed and all supplies will be provided.
Merrill Gardens residents are also being invited to join in.
