Transition into Retirement Together
Welcome to our weekly newsletter for Hively’s “Transition into Retirement Together” Meetup group! This is where you’ll find announcements on upcoming events and resources to navigate retirement and discover what’s next, together.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
🗳 Looking for others to pursue new interests / hobbies together? In response to feedback from all of you, we’re looking to launch interest-based activity “clubs” for our members, but really need your input on club topics. Please vote here on clubs you’d be excited to be a part of!
🧡 Interested in gathering with a smaller, consistent group for peer support and discussing topics around navigating retirement? Sign-up for our small-group cohort program to connect every other week with 8-12 members. We’re having so much fun with our current cohorts and will be kicking-off our next ones, as soon as we have enough interest for a specific time slot!
🙏 As we often have folks on event waitlists, friendly reminder to update your RSVP if you're no longer able to join - thank you!
