TTN - Where Friendships Are Made
|
|
FRIENDSHIP
"a relationship between two or more people who connect to each other well and able to help each other in need.
Friendship is the most beautiful relationship in the universe."
We are forming new friendships and connections with each other. Through engagement in peer groups, SIGs and other TTN events, we are meeting new people, forming friendships, having fun, helping each other and inspiring other women to join our organization.

TTN Atlanta is trying to engage more women in the community and from various stages in their life journey. We are creating various ways of allowing others to know about our organization. We would like to thank the women who volunteered to tell their TTN stories for this video. Please share it with others you may know looking to enjoy life as we face positive aging.

KALEIDOSCOPE KATRANTZOU-Sept. 3rd
SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion + Film presents "KALEIDOSCOPE KATRANTZOU: Mary Katrantzou, 10 Years in Fashion," an exhibition celebrating the 10th anniversary of the coveted designer's eponymous label. Katrantzou is acclaimed for her bold colors, textures and prints, which she expertly wields into kaleidoscopic, sculptural creations. Known for her limitless imagination, she draws from enchanting, unexpected sources: Fabergé eggs, Bauhaus posters, postage stamps, perfume bottles and typewriters have all found their way into her collections. "KALEIDOSCOPE KATRANTZOU," a retrospective of the designer's work from the past decade, features iconic looks that reveal her innovative approach combining fashion, art and technology.

Our popular "Speaker Series" program resumes this Fall on Thursday, September 26th, from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at Southern Bistro.
Our first speaker will be Dr. Dorothy F. Carrillo, leading a conversation on Anti-Semitism.
Dr. Dorothy F. Carrillo was an Associate Professor at Georgia State University and the Associate Director for Operations of Project Healthy Grandparents, an organization that supports grandparents raising their grandchildren. She has made numerous presentations on various social problems and issues including anti-Semitism. During retirement Dr. Carrillo found that the one role in higher education that she missed was that of teacher. Learning about various educational programs for Seniors, she developed courses based on subjects that had absorbed her interests for years.

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.

On August 26th, the East Cobb/Sandy Spring Movie SIG enjoyed viewing "Where'd You Go Bernadette" with a lively discussion about the movie afterward at Seed Restaurant.
The East Cobb/Sandy Spring Movie SIG is full, and as a result, not able to accept new members. If you are a current member of the East Cobb/Sandy Springs Movie SIG, Judy Golden will contact you separately to inform you of upcoming movie events/dates.
In September, Lori Johnston will be coordinating a second new Movie SIG for members in the Gwinnett County area. If you are interested in participating in this group, please contact Lori.
