A NOTE FROM OUR CHAIR

Greetings!

Fall is here. I’m writing this on a beautiful low temp/low humidity day. I hope you are able to get out and enjoy it. Here is what’s cooking in the Philadelphia Chapter of TTN!

GIVING CIRCLE WINE AND CHEESE CELEBRATION AND ANNUAL MEETING

Please join us on November 4th for a wine and cheese party as we celebrate the TTN Philadelphia Giving Circle’s wonderful year!

VOLUNTEER COOKING GROUP

We have a great volunteer cooking group up and running. See how you can help!

LOOKING FOR TTN AMBASSADORS

We need more ambassadors to welcome, orient, and connect new TTN members. Volunteers can be from any area. It is a great way to meet and welcome new members. Contact Cheryl Benavides to get involved.

WINE LOVERS SIG ADAPTS TO CHANGES

What do you do in times when social distancing and outdoor events are recommended, but your past events were held in small intimate indoor groupings? Like many of us the Wine Lovers II SIG is navigating how to adjust to the changes in our life due to COVID.

NEW AND OPEN SIGS!

Check out some new and open SIGS and learn how to get involved!

COMMITMENT TO LITERACY UPDATE

On September 22nd, TTN’s Giving Circle held a hugely successful and educational session, “Commitment to Literacy”.

FOURTH ANNUAL CHILDREN'S BOOK DRIVE

HOW YOU CAN DONATE

TTN Philadelphia is holding its Fourth Annual Children’s Book Drive from October 4th-15th. Given the impact of COVID-19 on city children’s education in the

past 18 months, the need for book donations now is greater than ever. Please help if you can!

PEER GROUP DISCUSSES MEANINGFUL OBJECTS

The year (plus!) of Covid has taken way the joys of our communal meetings, where there was always wine, and delicious snacks, but it hasn’t diminished the bond our group has established.
