Welcome
THE SENIOR CENTER IS CLOSED TODAY, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, DUE TO THE INCLEMENT WEATHER.
WELCOME TO THE UPPER MERION SENIOR SERVICE CENTER
Looking forward to a busy month of February. We have our annual Valentine Hoagie Social event scheduled for February 14th. Always a great time to socialize with your fellow members. Make sure to get your tickets by February 6th to join the party.
Coming on February 5th at 11am, we are hosting an update of the UM Rambler services, including schedules and new services available. Join in the conversation. This will be open to the public so if you know anyone who might be interested, please invite them to the presentation.
Thank you to those of you who have already renewed their membership for 2025. If it has slipped your mind, please see one of our staff to sign up for the new year. We have many events and programs for you to enjoy in 2025. Do not miss all we have to offer.
The Board has committed to a campaign to inform our community of the activities and opportunities available to seniors. We will be seeking current members to assist in this process. In April, we are planning an “Open House” and will be looking to our members to spread the word. Currently, we are posting on our Facebook page. If you have a Facebook account, look us up at umssc.org and follow us to see the information posted.
I chose to close the Center last month when the forecast threatened a snow accumulation. It is safer for our members to stay home and stay safe and I will continue to make that call going forward. If you question if we are open, please give us a call and the phone message will tell you if we are closed for the day.
Happy Valentines Day to each of you. May your day and every day be filled with peace and love.
Hope to see you around the Center.
Sharon Brzoska, President
