Sept 28. Welcome, to this week's newsletter.
Both of today's feature articles are Member suggested, which is great. First, in response to many requests, we are republishing Betty Fitterman's outstanding 6 partseries on living the mobile lifestyle in retirement, but this time doing it in the Blog so people can Comment. Then, two different Members asked if we could write about the idea of retiring in a Pocket Neighborhood, and that is the 2nd feature. Thanks to Huntley61 and janeAnn for that one!
We would also like to welcome Flo as our first volunteer Blog and Forum moderator. It was heridea to help make the user experience better for everyone by making sure that posts and comments get put in the right places. Thanks Flo, you are already making a difference.
