UA Village

Hey UA Village Members & Volunteers,

Join us for coffee next Tuesday, July 23rd at Panera Bread on Tremont at 11am!

Beat the heat and get a fan!

Hope to see you there!

Join us at Houlihan's on Wednesday for lunch and/or dinner! Tell them you're there for the Upper Arlington Commission on Aging and they will donate 20% of your bill back to support our programs!

The Upper Arlington Commission on Aging (UACOA) is excited to announce that we have hired a new Village Services Coordinator for UA Village. Cecilia Glancy will be joining the team May 13, 2024.

Cecilia comes to us with an educational background in Health Science and Aging. She sat on the Student Advisory Board for the Office of Geriatrics and Gerontology at The Ohio State University. Her heart for seniors was developed early and led to her receiving her STNA (State Tested Nursing Assistant) while still in high school. She has a passion for making sure that older residents have the access to the resources and connections they need to successfully age in place.

As the point person for UA Village, Cecilia will be sharing the opportunity for membership and volunteer growth and engagement, helping to connect member needs with volunteers, and developing programming and social opportunities.

Launched in November 2022, UA Village is a program of the UACOA and is the 7th village in the Greater Columbus area. Through a combination of volunteer and other resources, UA Village helps older residents of Upper Arlington stay and thrive in the neighborhoods they love. For more information about UA Village, visit www.UAVillage.org or call 614.427.3920.

Don’t be concerned Wednesday morning when you hear the sirens!

The Statewide Tornado Drill is TOMORROW at 9:50 am. The sirens will sound one time for 3 minutes. Don't be alarmed. It's ONLY A DRIL. Let's all participate! This drill will replace the usual Wednesday noon test. Prepare now to stay safe! 🌪️

We had a great time on Friday with 5 other villages from across Columbus (aka the Greater Columbus Network of Villages, or GCNV) as we came together for a little pre-St. Patrick's Day fun! Food, (new) friends, trivia, and music from the Columbus Folk Music Society! What's not to love?!

Happy Leap Day!

⏰Today is the perfect day to reflect on how we spend our time.
⏰There are 8,760 hours in a regular calendar year.
⏰Volunteering for just ONE HOUR per month leaves almost 8,750 hours for your needs while making a huge impact in the lives of others.
⏰What are YOU doing with the EXTRA 24 HOURS you gained this year?

Contact us at [email protected] if you want to take a leap into the world of volunteering. You won't be disappointed!

Thank you to Colin's Coffee, Crimson Cup Coffee, and The Coventry Senior Living for your support of UA Village!

Did you know that today is World Kindness Day?

The movement traces its roots to a Tokyo conference in 1997, where delegates from various countries deliberated on the role of compassion and kindness in society. The first World Kindness Day was observed on November 13, 1998, in Japan and Singapore.

Why not make it a goal to show kindness to someone new today?

After you vote, why not meet up with friends for lunch and/or dinner at MCL? Tell them you're there for the Upper Arlington Commission on Aging and they will donate 20% of your bill back to support our programs and projects as we serve the older residents of UA!

Don’t forget - before you go to bed on Saturday turn your clocks back an hour!
