As this holiday season draws to a close, we look back on 2018 and forward to 2019.
2018 was a banner year for the Philadelphia Chapter. We continued our growth, both in membership and offerings and celebrated our 10th Anniversary with a wonderful party at
the
Moshulu.
As we close the year, we have 412 members - the most ever for our chapter. In 2018, we had over 100 offerings, including opportunities to give back to our community, Mingles to get to know TTN and each other better, and programs for our health and education.
As we start 2019, we have 17 Peer Groups, 35 Special Interest Groups (with 7 new groups forming) and we already have almost 20 opportunities to learn, visit, grow and give back.
We are looking forward to a wonderful New Year with even more
opportunities
to connect, discover and impact ourselves, each other and our community.
On behalf of the Philadelphia Chapter Leadership members and myself, warmest wishes for a happy and healthy New Year.
Warm Regards,
|

Winter/Spring 2019 Programs Committee Offerings
|
|
We all are constantly experiencing a range of transitions, questioning "what's next", looking to
re-balance
our time and energy toward important aspects of our lives and staying motivated to pursue activities that bring meaning and fulfillment.
The educational Programs being offered in Winter/Spring 2019 are designed to bring you new perspectives and actionable insights in these areas and beyond.
Our January program will feature TTN Member Deb Spungen who will discuss her new book "Table for One: Essays from a Widow's Journey", how she dealt with pain and loss and how her journey forward has unfolded. Deb will also share how writing her story became key to her healing process. Register here to hear Deb.
In February, we'll blow up whatever misconceptions you may have about being Creative (or not), with a workshop led by TTN Member, Aili Pogust. You don't have to be an artist, musician, actress, writer or stand-up comic to be creative. In fact, you are endowed with a creative brain that functions just like the brain of those artists. In our fast-paced world, creativity is essential for meeting the challenges, dangers and opportunities we face in our daily lives. Come learn how to access your creative brain and sign up for Aili's interactive "Am I Creative?" workshop!
And in March, we are also pleased to offer the brand new TTN Signature Program "On Resilience", read about it in the next article.
If you would like to recommend additional educational topics or speakers for 2019, or if you personally have expertise in a relevant topic and could offer a workshop, please contact Program Chair, Marsha Yankelev (
marsha.yankelev.ebud@gmail.com)

We are pleased to offer the brand new TTN Signature Program "On Resilience", which consists of a 5 hour Introductory Workshop followed by six in-depth resilience Conversations over the following 3 months.
In the Workshop, you will learn what it means to be resilient, the importance of resiliency in times of stress and transition and to identify skills, strengths and strategies for increasing your personal resilience.
The Conversation Series is six structured small group conversations, exercises and assessments to expand your repertoire of healthy skills and resilient practices.
Two TTN members, Marcia Goldstein and Jan Zacharjasz, are leading the Workshop and Conversation Series. Both have deep professional expertise in the area of Resilience and workshop facilitation, as well as a passion for seeing others grow and benefit from enhanced resilient behaviors.
Note: The Workshop is required in order to participate in the Conversation Series.

The TTN
Giving Circle is starting the 2019 with 20 new members! Thanks to our growth and the generosity of our members, this year we will be able to make a $25,000 grant, to a deserving organization, our largest ever.
Our 2019 grants cycle will begin on Wednesday, January 9th, when the Grants Committee meets for its orientation. We are forming three new committees as well, Member Engagement, Public Relations and Special Events. These important functions are vital to the continued growth and health of our group. If you have an interest or expertise in any of these areas we invite you to contact Carol Cunningham (
carol.d.cunningham@gmail.com) to learn how you can contribute.

Special Interest Group
page where you'll find plenty of offerings.
