Blowing Glass and Life Coaching
Our bi-monthly meeting began with sharing of recent Elderhostel programs by members. Judy and Ed related their week at the Corning Glass Museum/Factory in New York and showed some of the pieces they made that week with the tutoring and assistance of the Corning staff.
Wow! These amazing creations made us all want to try our hand at the process.
Then professional life coach Denise spoke generally about her occupation's goals and took us through several exercises demonstrating techniques to determine one's own life goals and how to achieve them...
...followed by Pete who described more of the process from his perspective as a psychologist/counselor.
Finally, Don showed an Elderhostel Power Point presentation still in the "beta" stage of development and asked us to critique it so the Elderhostel staff back in Boston could get reactions and suggestions for improvements (which we had a bunch of!)
Followed, of course, by our lunch ...

NICE at Sedgebrook
Elderhostel Ambassadors Don Nylin and Pete Clark presented Elderhostel to an enthusiastic group of residents at Lincolnshire's Sedgebrook Community today.
Pete explained about our local NICE group and invited attendees to our meetings every other month at Grayslake's State Bank of the Lakes.
Don gave an overview of Elderhostel and then more specifically, what a typical day at an Elderhostel program might entail. Some attendees had participated in Elderhostel programs and gave unsolicitied tetimonials as to how exciting, educational, and worthwhile they are.
Most of those in the audience signed up to receive free Elderhostel catalogs and mailings and all were duly impressed with the quantity and breadth of the educational and travel opportunities available through Elderhostel.
