Hello Ladies!

The Steering committee hopes that you are all doing well, washing your hands and practicing social distancing!

The COVID-19 crisis, has changed the way we are connecting in our world and your Billings Chapter it working to adapt as our situations change or remain the same.

We hope you have been reading the weekly updates from our Chair, Marti Miller. Watch for new information every Wednsday, updating you on upcoming opportunities to connect.

As you know, our chapter has created a Zoom video conference account so we can gather virtually.  This provides a platform for our SIGS, Peer groups and Steering Committee to meet and see each other.  We hope you join a SIG or Peer Group Zoom Video Meeting. E mails to join a Zoom meeting will come from BillSantaFe@thetransitionnetwork.org .  (We are sharing the Zoom account with the Santa Fe chapter).  

For those of you who are not in a SIG or Peer Group we are connecting with you on April 21st via Zoom . Check your email for the invite and register.

We understand that Zoom is not for everyone. If you need to connect, all of our Steering Committee members are open to talking with you. Feel free to reach out to any of us!

From Susan Collins, Executive Director of TTN: “Since TTN is a membership organization, YOU are our top priority in this time of uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, commonly known as the coronavirus. We want to encourage you to use TTN as a resource in this stressful time. It’s important to stay in touch -- virtually if not physically -- with your TTN friends, because connection is the foundation of who we are.”

NATIONAL is offering online programs to members. Billings Member, Cara Schaer attened one this week on Friendships and was excited to have information to share with her Peer Group. Check out future opportunites on The Transistion Network website.
