Dear Members of the Professionals In Transition® Community,

I learned tonight a little bit after 6 PM that the American Red Cross is in the process of reconstructing our regular meeting room. I don’t know at the moment if this means we will be meeting in person in an alternate room or if we will be meeting completely on Zoom. Construction is scheduled to go on through March 20th.

Please look for *another email* from me in the afternoon to let you know our new room (which we have easily accommodated to in the past) or if we will only meet on Zoom tomorrow night (Thursday) through March 20th.

We will continue with our “open format” meeting tomorrow to address your re-employment needs.

We continue to progress towards selective “topic driven” meetings and speakers too!

Remember, one of our key goals is to reignite our weekly networking community, while maintaining our Zoom attendance. Please call or respond to this email with feedback or suggestions.

Bring any of your re-employment questions tomorrow.

Thanks!

Unemployment affects every aspect of your life, including family members and close relations. When you're out of work, whatever issues already exist in your household tend to be magnified, especially during the Holidays.
Thanksgiving can be very difficult if you’re out of work. Holiday “chit chat” with relatives around the table can quickly become awkward, too.

Relatives and family members may inadvertently hurt you with judgmental phrases like: “Remember last year when you told me about the fight you got into with your boss? Well, you probably had this coming.”

Even worse, if you've had trouble communicating with family members in the past, unemployment may further aggravate this tendency because talking openly can become more difficult.

This week we will share our holiday frustrations and ideas on how to deal with them.

Please join us at *YOUR* Professionals In Transition® meeting held every week at the American Red Cross.

Meeting the need of Professionals In Transition®

Each week we have the opportunity to meet you where you are in your employment needs. Things change quickly. Questions arise that need to be answered now.

Having the opportunity to practice your thirty second commercial, provide feedback and refine your “personal pitch” each week is always amazing to witness.

Many times we spend our meetings addressing the critical employment issues members have. It is interesting, invigorating and an excellent investment of your time.

Please join us at *YOUR* Professionals In Transition® meeting held every week at the American Red Cross. David Stewart will be your host this week.
