It is with a full heart and much gratitude that I pass along the Coordinator Baton to
Ellen Wetzel
at the end of this month. I have learned and grown and been blessed by TTN in more ways than I ever could have anticipated, and it thrills me to know that I will be leaving it in such capable hands. There is a magic and depth to our membership that is unsurpassed in any other group I’ve been affiliated with, and I encourage you all to do your part going forward to cherish and support the uniqueness of our powerful community of women. I step forward forever transformed by my experience with TTN, and thank you all for your contribution to my life!

MONTHLY MEETING
Monday, April 23
5:45-7:30 pm
|
|
Program: THE MAGIC OF NATIVE PLANTS
Santa Fe Master Gardener Association (SFMGA)
Santa FE Native Plants Project (SNaPP)
|
|
We will first define Native Plants, talk briefly about Ecology and Ecosystem Services, and suggest that adding native plants to the home landscape is something each of us can do to mitigate diminishing biodiversity and loss of habitat.
We will next highlight a few native plants and their most endearing characteristics.
We will conclude with the down-and-dirty business of soil, water, and mulch.

TWO SUCCESSFUL TTN EVENTS
IN FEBRUARY AND MARCH!
|
|
The
WOMEN IN TRANSITION WORKSHOP led by
Ginny Dwyer, Rheanni Lightwater and
Jean Palmer was a great success. Twenty-two women attended, 12 members and 10 non-members. Several of the non-members have since joined and TTN would welcome any of the others to do so too.
Here were a few comments by those attending:
“
That women are awesome and smart! Lots of wisdom in the room.”
“The power of women gathered together-the sharing, openness and support and excellent information and presentations.”
The new
TRANSITION PEER GROUP had a successful Kick-off and is off to a great start - ready, hopeful, challenged, excited. There are 14 women in the group, some who are relative newcomers to Santa Fe and others who have been here many years. Being in a Transition Peer Group is a TTN member benefit.
A comment that is applicable to both groups:
“I look forward to becoming more involved within TTN!”
Several have since stepped up to serve and that is great.
If you are interested in getting more active by leading or serving on a committee, let Nathalie Hermann, Coordinator, know at

“Music produces a kind of pleasure which

― Confucius
Are you afraid that you can’t sing well enough or you are shy and won’t feel comfortable? Do you have a musical instrument that you haven't played in a while?
We are an
informal monthly gathering of about 10-12 women who come to play or listen to instrumental music and sing songs that are familiar to us, learn a few new ones and enjoy each other’s company. There will be also be an opportunity for solos (2-3 per person/group).
If you are willing to bring a food item to share with others, it’s appreciated but not required.
If you are one of the 65 women who asked to be on the mailing list and you’ve never attended,
please come join us! If you’d like to be added to the mailing list for the Musical parties, email
Jean@JeanPalmer.com.
