The best time of the year is here!! Warm weather is here, beautiful flowers are blooming, and the trees are coming back. We have made it through the other seasons with a sense of purpose, and now we can enjoy the benefits of nature. Take the time to enjoy it, go on walks, spend time in the many parks around and plant something you will like see growing. |

We encourage you to bring friends, prospective members, and female acquaintances to any of our programs so they too can experience what TTN has to offer. Keep in mind all events require a headcount days before the actual date. Please register as early as your schedule allows. We consider all schedules and hope everyone will find an event that is convenient and sign up.

LGBTQ+: What do all those letters mean and how can I be an ally?
It does seem like more letters are added all the time. Let’s talk about what those letters represent and how terminology has changed over time. What language is respectful and what is considered derogatory. The queer (that’s a word we will address) community can use all the support we can give.
There will be a short presentation and lots of time for your questions!

Coffee Hour- Friday, April 16th 11:00 AM to Noon
Laughter is the Best Medicine!!
As we are now being vaccinated and can see light at the end of the tunnel, we must not forget what they say is the best medicine - laughter. Is there really a physiological reason for this? It is said it increases our oxygen level. Let’s have some fun and share a funny story that made us laugh, even a cute joke, or who and what makes us laugh. Let’s also explore why laughter actually helps us.
Look forward to seeing you there!

SIGs and TPG
We continue to have some great Special Interest Groups (SIGs) activities as part of the Atlanta TTN experience. If you are interested in a SIG, look for information in our newsletter and emails with information about the date and location. Sign up to attend as many as you like. Share with a friend and let them experience the power of TTN! Guests can attend outings for a limited number of times.
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. Only members should attend our Peer Group meetings.

Peer Group Meetings
To make it easier for the Peer Groups and new participants we would like you to contact JoAnne D'Aleo if you want to attend one of our groups. She will coordinate your attendance with the Peer Group.

Transition peer groups (TPG’s) are informal groups composed of 8-12 TTN members who meet on a monthly basis. These groups provide a safe and supportive environment in which women may have thought-provoking and stimulating conversations relating to career or personal transitions. Transition peer groups provide opportunities for connection, new friendships and mutually supportive exploration. Peer groups are one of the key benefits of being a TTN member.
Currently the Atlanta Chapter has Peer Groups in Decatur, Intown/Vinings, Sandy Springs and Perimeter areas, Cobb, Gwinnett and North Atlanta. If you are interested in becoming a part of a peer group, or are interested in starting one close to your area, please contact JoAnne D’Aleo at the link above.

Do you have a friend having a difficult time dealing with our present state in the midst of a pandemic? Are you able to fill your days with things you want to do? Can you relate to women in your age group or would like to establish more relationships? If so TTN may be the answer to all of the questions. We invite you to become more involved in the various activities we offer and ask a friend to join us. We are not meeting face to face that often but we still find ways and time to come together. |
