| A Message from Our NYC Chapter Chair | | 
Hello TTNers,
Hope you had a wonderful summer and are enjoying the last few weeks before Fall sets in. This month's newsletter is devoted primarily to an update on the Caring Collaborative.
The Caring Collaborative is a vital part of our TTN community with more than half of our membership actively engaged in its activities.
If you are not a member, we encourage you to join. If you are already a member, please continue or increase your involvement by joining a neighborhood group or attending the health-related talks and workshops described in this newsletter.
We look forward to seeing you at all of the other wonderful TTN events we are planning this Fall.
Kind Regards,
Eileen Kobrin,

Mindfulness: Be Here Now
