How to Live More and Regret Less

"If someone asked you what you do for fun, would you have an answer?" is a question posed inside the flap of Joe Robinson's book "Don't Miss Your Life: Find More Joy and Fulfillmen­t Now."



Fun adds zest to life!

If you need some ideas of simple down to earth ways to have fun, take a look at Twifties.T­V. Twifties are the fun people in their late 40s, 50s, and UP! We advocate living life to the fullest, and it doesn't have to be about expensive vacations in exotic locales, and other "forced fun" occasions.



It's about getting together and relaxing with friends and taking a hike, stopping to do some yoga stretches on the way. Or riding the zip line and canopy tour at the local ski mountain in warm weather. Or playing with your shadow on camera. These are some of the fun videos you can enjoy on Twifties.TV.

Twifties planning events with snow resorts and lodgings.

This is the flyer we'll be handing out at the Boston Globe Ski and Snowboard Expo in Boston on November 11- 14, 2010 at the Seaport World Trade Center, in Boston, MA.

Let's Hold an Event at Your Mountain this Season! With Twifties!

Hello
My name is Lauren Traub Teton. I am a snowboard journalist with SnowboardSecrets.com and SnowboardSecretsTV.
I am also the creator of "Twiftes" the FUN people around age 50 and up.

Twifties is a grassroots movement of people having fun doing activities
together. Skiing, Snowboarding, and Cross Country Skiing, are some of our fun activities.

Let's hold a fun Twifties Event at YOUR Resort or Lodging this winter!

The benefit for you of course is to get people to your business having fun, AND to get event Internet exposure about the event for your property.
The benefit to Twifties is to grow our visibility and recognition by working with popular partners like you!

What's involved?
1. There is NO COST to you!
2. We choose a date together and you email the info to your list of customers to publicize it.
3. Press Release: We can work together writing and issuing a press release about the event (OR I can handle it if you prefer. No charge of course)
4. We will post the event on TwiftiesCalendar.com and SnowboardEventsCalendar.com.
4. We hold the event!
5. We will make a short video at the event and post it on Twifties.TV
and SnowboardSecrets.TV. We already have 200 such videos posted and have received over 250,000 viewers. YouTube is the 2nd biggest search engine on the internet and it is to your benefit to have great videos of people having fun at your mountain on YouTube, especially when they are posted by a party other than yourself. Also we will give you links back to your website from our sites which are also of great value to you.

Why are we offering this?
WE JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN SUCCESSFUL EVENTS TO SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT
TWIFTIES AND THIS WILL BE A GREAT WAY TO DO THAT!

Twifties (Baby Boomers) control over 50% of consumer spending in the US, yet only 5% of advertising dollars are devoted to this group. If you look at your clientele you will probably have noticed that Twifties are the BULLSEYE of the TARGET of people spending money at your resort! So let's hold a Twifties event together, weekdays or weekends.

To see a video of the Twifties Winter Games held last winter go to
http://www.twifties.tv/videos.php?category_id=15&%20page=3 or just Google it. By the way, if you Google "Twifties Winter Games," over 8 pages of results come up, including coverage by NBC and sportsillustrated.cnn.com/.

Contact me a.s.a.p to work out a date for our event.

If you host USASA we may want to make it in conjunction with a

USASA event.

Sincerely,
Lauren Traub Teton

TwiftiesCalendar.com Debuts, & Updates

TwiftiesCalendar.com Debuts with Fun Events for the Fun People in Their Late 40s, and UP

*TwiftiesCalendar.com debuts with Oct. 17 adventure event at Catamount Adventure Park on the Zip Lines.
*Twifties.TV reaches 100,000 views on its videos.
*Twifties Costa Rica trip with yoga planned for February 2011.

Westchester County, NY October 11, 2010
Active events for adults is what the newly debuted TwiftiesCalendar.com is all about. Twifties are the fun people in their late 40s, and up. Twifties can sign up on the site for the email party list and be notified of upcoming events.

October 17, Sunday, will be the Catamount Adventure Party for Twifties. All (over age 8) are invited to come to Catamount Resort in the Berkshire Mountains, Hillsdale, NY, on the Massachusetts/NY line. The group will meet to spend a few hours adventuring on the rope courses and zip lines. An optional box lunch will be served at a discounted price of $5 in the tavern afterwards. The rope course will be $41 for ages 12+, $30 for ages 11-12 and $24 for ages 8-9.

Meet at 10:45 at the Adventure Desk in the main lodge. If there is light rain the event will happen. Heavy rain postpones to the following Sunday, Oct. 24. Please r.s.v.p to Lauren(at)Twifties(dot)com by midnight Saturday October 16. Full details on the Twifties Catamount Adventure Party are at http://twifties.blogspot.com/2010/09/twifties-catamount-adventure-party.html.

Coming in February is the Twifties Trip to Nosara, Costa Rica, for sun, surf, dancing, and yoga. Unlike other travel groups people travel in their own style with Twifties. Come down when and how you like, and stay where you like. Twifties will get together daily for an activity. Then travelers can spend time at their own speed, in activities with new Twifties activity companions, alone, or with their own travel companions. The idea is that the Twifties activities unfold organically.

“An open format is the way I like to travel and it works great, so I want to bring this wisdom to our Twifties Activities,” says Twifties founder Lauren Traub Teton. “Twifties activities are for independent travelers who might have gone to these places anyway, but just needed a little encouragement or some people to do things with to seal the deal.”

A Twifties day hike of the Appalachian Trail in Vernon, NJ was the latest Twifties event. It was a Twifties “Instant Event” that came up with very little planning, and those who knew about it and were available participated. A small group had a fantastic time hiking on a beautiful day, with even a little bit of unexpected adventure when a hiker from the group overshot the turnoff for the overlook and continued down the trail. A search party went after her and all were reunited. Beth Nolan, of BN Yoga led the group in some impromptu “Yoga Anywhere” in the woods and all descended the Wawayanda Mountain range stretched, refreshed, and grounded after the hike.

The video of the hike is at http://www.twifties.tv/videos.php?category_id=23.

Twifties.TV has over 50 entertaining videos of what Twifties do for fun, made by Ms. Teton. “We reached the thrilling milestone of 100,000 viewers for our videos last week!” says Ms. Teton. Our viewers solidly prove our demographic, with 50% over age 45 and 70% over age 35. 75% of our viewers watched the Oasis of the Seas preview videos, so it makes sense to assume they are an affluent market with disposal income.”

“The point of the Twifties movement is for the fun people close to 50 and up to regain their power and know that it’s ok, even therapeutic to have fun. Why are only 5% of advertising dollars directed at the group that controls over half of consumer spending? Apparently we are invisible. My mission is to make the aspirational lifestyle of a vibrant group of happy people show up on the radar screen, for the betterment of all,” says Ms. Teton.

With nine courses of varying difficulties you are challenged to cross bridges, climb ladders, obstacles and zip lines.
