in·spi·ra·tion
Someone causing you to feel confident about yourself and eager to learn or do something.
We are at the perfect time of life to be an inspiration to others. To see women active, engaged, purposeful and sustaining is a positive observation by those younger. We are role models to many women as they navigate through the maze of life and anticipate their next chapter. TTN women are having meaningful conversations, engaging social outlets, and participating in volunteer opportunities. Keep inspiring.

Saturday, June 22,
High Museum Phillips
Collection
What a great morning was had at the High Museum for a docent led tour of the Phillips Collection. It exhibited a broad group of influential artists, from such 19th century artists as Eugène Delacroix, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, Honoré Daumier, Gustave Courbet and Édouard Manet to the more modern Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, Edgar Degas, Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh. The group consisted of guests and members.

SIGs and TPGs
We continue to have some great
Special Interest Groups
(SIGs) activities as part of the Atlanta TTN experience. If you are interested in a SIG, look for information in our newsletter and emails with information about the date and location. Sign up to attend as many as you like. Share with a friend and let them experience the power of TTN!
Guests can attend meetings for a limited number of times.
Transition
Peer Groups
(TPGs)
are for women to share and learn from each other. While the groups are meant to create a supportive environment, be aware that any member of TTN can go to any Peer Group meeting with the exception of Cobb. We have them set up by location to make it easier for you to attend one closer to your home. Contact the person listed under each group and let them know you will attend.
Only members should attend our Peer Group meetings.

We would like an evening Mah Jongg group. We understand some of our members work or have commitments during the day but would still like to get in on the fun of playing. If that sounds like you please reach out to Elaine and let her know which evening works best for you and we will go from there.
Our current players can attest to the challenges, disappointments (in a good way), excitement and overall sense of satisfaction they receive from the game. Anyone interested in learning or those who already know how to play are welcome for day or evening play.
