are or know of someone in the Prime Timers of Phoenix who is providing physical care, medical assistance, or
emotional support for a loved one, friend, or relative. PTOP member Tom Workman, an Ambassador for the
Arizona Caregiver Coalition, will talk about the many resources that are available to assist and support family

I want to build excitement for one of our favorite annual events: the Prime Timers Auction on March 19th. This year, we’ll be featuring both a live auction and silent auctions, making for an evening full of energy, surprises, and friendly competition.
To make this event the success we need to help fund our 2026 events, your support is essential. Donations are needed, and new or like-new items may be brought to the February meeting, or you may contact the closest board member to arrange a convenient drop-off time. Every contribution helps make this event a success.
We’re also excited to be inviting Tucson Prime Timers (TPT), Our Gang, Bears of the West, the Gay Men in Phoenix Facebook ABOUT US Group, Queer Cooks, and any other groups you may recommend. The more the merrier—and the stronger the event.
