The Minneapolis/St. Paul Chapter supports women as they make the most out of their "50 years and forward" transition journey. We learn from and support each other as we experience the changes that occur at this stage of life.

We welcome any woman interested in joining our vibrant chapter. The membership experience may involve participation in Special Interest Groups (SIGs), Peer Groups (PGs), the Caring Collaborative, learning opportunities, and social gatherings. Membership is as rich and deep as each member chooses to make it.

For more information about the Minneapolis/St. Paul Group, please email us.

Do you ever wonder where you would move next
once it is time to leave your current home?

As we shift into our later years, people are often times rethinking their housing situations. Many are able to age in place, while others want to plan ahead for a time when their needs have changed and they might be looking for other independent living options. Several of our members have expressed interest in learning more about what some of these options might look like. We have put together a series of three learning opportunities for those who are interested in taking a closer look.

Session 1: March 17, Golden Valley Library. Senior Housing Options presentation by Choice Connections and a real estate knowledgeable about the housing market for seniors. See details in last month’s newsletter. Register

Session 2: April 17, Roseville Library. Senior Housing Panel. We have pulled together several of our peers for a panel presentation and discussion. Each has a story to share about their housing search process and experience. Some have found a new community, sold their homes and have moved to a new senior friendly housing situation. Panelists will share their personal experience, what they learned and how they made the decision. Register

Final Sessions: Spring 2026. Volunteers will be coordinating several small group outings to visit and experience some of the housing options one might consider. These will be pop-up sessions announced with the ability to sign up on our website.
