TUESDAY TRIBUTE HONORS ENTREPRENEUR BARB MUESSIG
Creative 360’s next Yes We Can! Tuesday Tribute features Barbara Muessig (84) who started her second career in 1980. Enjoy lively conversation, tea and treats at Creative 360 on Tuesday, April 2, 2-3:30 pm. Admission is $5.
Barbara Muessig opened the doors to her real estate office, Barbara Muessig & Co., in 1980. The business has successfully weathered the ups and downs of the real estate industry for nearly 40 years. This “second career” came after a nearly 20-year career in the corporate world. Hers is an inspiring story for anyone who is re-creating themselves later in life, or those who desire a career change and are willing to do the work to make it a reality.
Creative 360’s Tuesday Tributes offer an opportunity to hear from and about an array of fascinating seniors – their lives, their creative process, and their adventures. Always on Tuesdays at 2:00 p.m., they offer lively conversation, tea, treats, and time for Q&A. There are ten Tuesday Tributes in the Yes We Can! schedule this year.
Those remaining include:
Apr 9: Dr. Joyce Henricks (83) – Artist, Author, Educator, Volunteer
Apr 16: Mitzi Clark (82) – Actor, Dancer, Writer
Apr 23: Carl (87) and Patricia (81) Price – Spending Time in Our National Parks
Apr 30: Virginia Florey and Leona Seamster – Midland: Her Continuing Story
About Yes We Can!
Six years ago, Creative 360 developed an innovative program designed to recognize and honor the contributions of people who are 80 and over in a way that respects their knowledge and taps into their legacy of creativity. This amazing segment of our population has a wealth of experience and knowledge to share. The Yes We Can! program gives people of all ages ongoing opportunities to engage with, and learn from, this dynamic group of senior presenters.
Since the program began in the winter of 2014, Creative 360 has celebrated more than 300 Great Lakes Bay artists, scholars, scientists, and community leaders. These octogenarians inspire everyone to be more active and to realize we can all be contributing community members at any age!
Thanks to The Barstow Foundation, NADA Northwood University, and Space Studios for their generous sponsorship of this year’s Yes We Can! program. For more information about Yes We Can!, go to Creative 360’s website at becreative360.org or call 989-837-1885.
