TTN is planning events and activities for the year. Please keep connected and discover new opportunities to meet with other members. In doing so, read your emails, check your Facebook Newsfeed page for updates, and attend meetings (Peer Groups, SIGs).
One challenge of planning programs for a diverse group is deciding if an event will be interesting to a majority of the members.
Please let us know if this film series at Agnes Scott College would interest you.
We had our first educational speaker series and gained a lot of knowledge from our member, Ann Rogers. Twenty-five members attended the session.

Aging Facts
This is a very interesting and informative podcast about aging:
Scroll down to Feeling Your Age and click the Listen button.
They call it the golden years, but there's a reason many of us dread old age - it can mean losing our health, our independence, our memories, and loved ones. But getting old doesn't mean what it used to. Thanks to advancements in tech and medicine, seniors have more options than ever when it comes to maintaining their health and quality of life. On this episode - how we want to age, and what gets in the way. Also heard on this week's episode: Reporter Esther Honig documents her father's cognitive decline. Geriatric nurse practitioner Barbara Resnick from the University of Maryland explains why aging bodies are like old cars - parts break down, but a little TLC can keep them running for the long haul. Endocrinologist Farah Khan on why it's important to pay attention to bone health before it's too late. Sharon Wade from St. Louis talks about caring for her mother, who has dementia. We hear about sex and intimacy at an assisted living facility in Phoenix, Arizona.
Grab a cup of coffee and listen to this wonderful discussion. Feel free to respond back with your own stories or concerns.
We will continue to donate to the non-profit, Project Kids Eat, in the upcoming months. We will give items for hygiene use, socks and underwear during Spring Break, Summer Vacation and the Winter break in December and January. We will coordinate with our membership a drop off point and take the items to the organization during those periods. Out next contribution will be in December at our annual Holiday Potluck or gathering.
