Medical Reserve Corps volunteering on February 12, 2019

On Tuesday, February 12, 2019, 15 TIAA volunteers arrived at The Senior Source headquarters located on Harry Hines Boulevard to assemble emergency preparedness leaflets for the Medical Reserve Corps. Our Senior Source hostess had prepared the conference room with piles of leaflets and had also made ready coffee and snacks so we could be off to a great start.

The Big Beats concert on January 29, 2019

You just can't "beat" it as 18 TIAA members and guests learned again on January 29, 2019, at the Pocketbook Sandwich Theater.  The Big Beats became one of the favorite groups of their time and they toured successfully for more than twenty years.  Tuesday night they reminded us just how good that music was by including songs from Buddy Holly and The Crickets, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, George Strait, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley and the Rolling Stones.  Rock music lovers (that's us!) still go wild over these music pioneers as we watched these old guys jump around and play

TIAA's visit to Fredericksburg on Sept. 25-27, 2018

Nine, adventurous TIAA souls headed to Fredericksburg on September 25, 2018 to check in at the Main Street B&B.  We enjoyed "happy hour" on their upstairs balcony overlooking the main street at 5:00 before adventuring out. That evening we walked to Mamacitas for Mexican food before carpooling to the Enchanted Rock to view the dark skies (forgot that it was harvest moon time and the stars were certainly out-shown that night). 

TIAA Volunteers at Crossroads on August 14, 2018

One of Crossroads Community Service's goals is to ensure that all people in Dallas County have ready access to nourishing foods.  A second Crossroads’ mission is to provide life skills education that can help clients accomplish goals that are important to them.  Crossroads provides clothing to in-house pantry clients as well as clients from The Stewpot. Crossroads partners with educational and medical institutions in Dallas County in order to seek more holistic solutions to deeply entrenched social and economic problems.
