Setting Goals at This Stage in Life!!
A goal is an
idea
of the future or desired result that a person or a group of people envision,
plan
and commit to achieve. People endeavor to reach goals within a finite time by setting
deadlines
.
TTN has set numerous goals for 2020. We aim to have more members enjoying life after 50; we would like to have more interesting programs for
participation
; and we want to continue learning, playing, traveling and caring for those who need it. Worthy goals!

|
We encourage you to bring friends, prospective members, and female acquaintances to any of our programs so they too can experience what TTN has to offer.
Keep in mind all events require a headcount days before the actual date. Please register as early as your schedule allows
. We consider all schedules and hope everyone will find an event that is convenient and sign up.

Guests can attend outings 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.
Only members should attend our Peer Group meetings.

Peer Group Meetings
To make it easier for the Peer Groups and new participants we would like you to contact JoAnne D'Aleo if you want to attend one of our groups. She will coordinate your attendance with the Peer Group.
|

Transition peer groups are informal, leaderless groups composed of 8-12 TTN members who meet on a monthly basis to engage in informal discussions. These groups provide a safe and supportive environment in which women may have thought-provoking and stimulating conversations relating to career or personal transitions.
Transition peer groups provide opportunities for connection, new friendships and mutually supportive exploration. The intention of these groups is for women to share and learn from each other, and while the groups are meant to create a supportive environment, they are neither support groups nor therapy groups and cannot substitute for professional help when a member may confront a personal life crisis and need special assistance.
Transition Peer Groups are a benefit of TTN membership.

We welcome
Greer
Ezrine,
Carol
Rudy
and
Ellen Levine
.
They joined in January due to a referral of a member or our previous article in the AJC. So happy to have them in our group. We will highlight a member who joined in December:
Gail Oja
She was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska then studied and lived in San Antonio and Chicago before moving to Atlanta 40 years ago. Good fortune is she found another Midwesterner in Atlanta and have been married for 35 years. They have two grown children, both recently married and living here. Gail's work life has been with Turner Broadcasting and The Coca-Cola Company. She and her spouse took early retirement last June and are still in the process of discovering life after work. They love traveling the world and have one continent yet to explore. Her other passions include going to the gym, reading, long walks, entertaining and enjoying the outdoors. Her civic mindedness has led her to recently enroll in the CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) training program as a volunteer for abused and/or neglected children in Fulton County.
She looks forward to participating in this group!
