ANN VON BROCK: "THE NEXT STOP IN THE JOURNEY"	WHEN WE LIVE UNITED: NIKKI MITCHELL
"As an empty-nester with decades of work experience, I am faced with a new challenge. Some people would opt for 'retirement,' but I'm honestly not ready for that. I do want to work less and pursue a crazy list of interests I've accumulated over decades, but I still have a lot to contribute to our community."
