ENN's mission is to connect neighbors for friendship and well-being in life's third act.  How do we do that?

It's simple: We host social get-togethers and outings, and we encourage volunteer service.

Members, volunteers, and guests often discover connections at our coffees & luncheons.
A newcomer to our group wrote ...."I found that one of the members and I have many things to share and discuss, such as living within a few blocks of each other just north of Bellevue Square before 'BELLEVUE SQUARE' became what it is today! Her husband was Indian and my son-in-law is Indian, and my daughter-in-law is half Indian. I don't often come across these kinds of connections. I am thrilled!"

ENN volunteer opportunities enrich lives!
People who volunteer "tend to be at lower risk for loneliness and depression," according to a post on the Era Living web site. The post cites a Harvard Business Review article that "revealed that volunteers felt more effective, productive, and abundant in the time they had, even after volunteering to give it away." The writer points out that, "For many, starting friendships later in life feels harder...Plus, it can just be awkward, at almost any stage of life." Volunteering affords opportunities for conversation to flow from shared activities and can be a gateway to new friendships.
