TTN Billings Chapter Wish List
  
Our chapter is growing and we find the need to invest in a computer.   The Billings Public Library has changed it's policy and we can no longer borrow a laptop to use to present our programs.  
The investment of a laptop will allow us to assist signing up members at events and keep all our information in one place and be available for our guest speakers.  

We are asking for your help in 
December and January

Our outreach will go to our TTN Chapter to help pay for the computer.

If you would like to help please bring a donation to our Holiday Party or to the January Program.

If you are unable to attend you can make a donation by sending a check to:

  Billings Chapter TTN 
PO Box
Billings, MT

Thank you for your consideration

The Coffee Group is now meeting at 9 am on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at Harper and Madison, enjoying coffee and tea, great pastries, and wonderful conversations! 
We invite all TTN members to join us when they can.


Looking to connect with like minded women...   
A Peer Group may be the answer.

Alice Jagallio is our Peer Group Coordinator.  

A monthly Monday & Saturday group are open for additional members.

If you are interested in more information about joining a group contact Alice: amjagiello@aol.com

We are excited to have launched 3 TTN Peer groups!  Peer Groups are one of TTN's Signature Programs.  They are small groups of members that gather in a comfortable and trusting environment on a monthly bases to discuss:
  • What is important to them at this stage of life
  • Share ways to live with vitality and wisdom
  • Provide support to each other
The difference between Special Interest Groups and Peer Groups: SIG's are member-generated around topics or activities and anyone can start one. 

Peer Group are facilitated groups composed of 8-12 TTN members.  A safe and supportive environment provides members a place for thought-provoking and stimulating conversations relating to transition to help members reflect on their lives - past, present and future.
Community Outreach
Outreach Makes A  
Difference

TTN women want to stay involved. They are using their skills to positively impact their own communities on a variety of levels. And they are changing the way organizations think of volunteers.  No longer satisfied to just stuff envelopes, our members are directing resources, raising money and finding gratification in "giving back." 

One way we can "give back" is by making donations to local non-profits.  In conjunction with our quarterly program we will highlight one organization which donations will be taken to. We will provide a list of items that the organization is in need of and ask that you consider a gift when joining us at the program.
