I've now been Chair of the NYC Chapter for two months, and I'm thoroughly enjoying every minute of it!  I would like to thank all of you who have offered me help and support.  Of course, beginning my term during our Chapter's relatively quiet Summer when our members are busy with outdoor activities around the City or traveling to exciting places, has helped me ease into my new role and responsibilities.

Now, with Summer almost over, I'm eagerly anticipating Fall.  Fall has always represented new beginnings to me - as a child, it was the beginning of a new school year; as an adult, it was the beginning of a new peak season at work; and through it all, as a long-standing NY Jets Football fan, it was the beginning of a new football season.  Now, as your Chair, I'm excited about our new TTN season as well!

You will note that our Fall Events Calendar has already started to fill up.  Don't miss People and Passions on Thursday, September 15th - an excellent opportunity to meet other members and guests who share your passions and are interested in joining or creating new Special Interest Groups focused on those passions.  You will also have a chance to join a new Transition Peer Group and, for members age 50-60, meet others your age.

In addition, we will be offering our highly acclaimed Women in Transition Workshop for the third time on Saturday, September 24th.  This half-day workshop is a signature TTN program and is designed to help you navigate through the challenges of whatever transition you may be struggling through. 

And hold October 19th for our annual Volunteer Fair!

Some of these events have limited registration, so sign up now!

Finally, I encourage you to read the excellent articles below about Long-Term Care Insurance (which saved my family tens of thousands of dollars when both my parents required round-the-clock aides during their final months) and Finding a Place for Mom, as well as the timely tips about avoiding tic and mosquito bites.
