Second Career Volunteer: Author Presentation and Book Signing

Barbara M. Traynor’s book, Second Career Volunteer, describes her volunteer retirement lifestyle. In July, 2005, after working as an Administrative Assistant for over forty-five years, she retired. In August, she drove 8,000 miles to Alaska to volunteer at a small college for a year. Since then, Barbara has been a long-term, long-distance volunteer at a wildlife refuge in Florida and a Heifer International learning center in Arkansas. Along the way she was asked so many questions that she decided to write a book.
