A Note From The Founders.

By Erica and Karen

Lustre was born to challenge outdated notions of retirement and age. We, the founders, were passionate about the need to show retired women as we are—visible, relevant, and still going strong—and to give the world a new vision of modern retirement for women like us.

We have personally funded Lustre for seven years, rallying accomplished women to challenge stereotypes, fashion new and different post-career lifestyles, and trailblaze for generations to come. Thousands of you have joined Lustre, and we are very grateful that you subscribe to Lustre’s purpose.

Now, it’s time for Lustre’s next chapter. Back to school for us!

Lustre needs to become member-supported in order to keep the project going. Starting October 4, 2023, for an annual fee of $65, Lustre will be available exclusively to members.

With your support, we can maintain Lustre and make it bigger and better:

•  New and expanded content and features for the Lustre website and weekly newsletter.

•  Expanded programming and in-person events in cities across the U.S.—and maybe the world.

•  More in-depth examples of how to live now, so we can style our lives and so everyone else can see the luminous and resourceful women we are.

• The latest technology, more interactive, at once both individualized and community-building.

We have created a strong foundation. Please become a member, so we can build on that foundation, together.

Thanks to each and every one of you.
