    The Change Makers alumni group continues its online series with “You’re Retired, But Your Spouse Is Not,” from 6 to 7 pm Wednesday, Oct. 28 via Zoom. Join fellow alumni to talk about changing routines, expectations and connection when partners retire at different times.

    You should have received an E-vite to participate in the event, and if you RSVPed “yes”, you will receive a Zoom link and materials to read before the session to help stimulate a great discussion. Sessions are facilitated by members of the Alumni Steering Committee, and participants can expect practical ideas, candid conversation and meaningful connection with fellow alumni navigating the opportunities and transitions of what comes next.

    And here is the link to participate. If you need more information, email Regina Kilkenny at reginakilkenny@yahoo.com.

    And mark your calendars for the third installment of the discussion series, “What’s FUN in Retirement?”, which will take place on Thursday, Nov. 19. Look for a separate E-vite later.

  • Summer alumni social attracted lively crowd

    Nearly 50 Change Makers alumni gathered Aug. 1 at Moodswing for an afternoon of conversation, connection and fun. Guests enjoyed food and drinks, joined small-group discussions on a range of topics and took to the pickleball courts, with experienced players and complete beginners alike getting into the game. The lively turnout offered another reminder of how strong the Change Makers community remains beyond the semester. And here’s a link to pictures from the event.
