Affiliates - Making the Right Connections!
Based on positive response received the past 23 years,
we are starting off by spreading our word/wings a little farther via Adventures Affiliates!
While dedicated to providing members with activities
and information to enhance their transition, cultivate their inner well-being, physical health,
develop friends and intimate healthy relationships,
we are pleased to offer extended services
to help you make the right connection with small/home businesses.
Thanks to making our own invaluable connections over the years,
we now have a long list of competent professionals
who are ready and willing to offer advice, suggestions,
extended referrals and discounts to Adventures members.

to those pesky time-consuming questions or concerns, contact us first at 775-3484.
We'll do our best to connect you with the right person,
company or organization in many areas of finding business,
personal, health, legal and other everyday related services!

What do you really want?
You're widowed - what are the pros and cons of staying vs. moving?
You really want to stay in your home, but money's tight.
