Life of inclusion for individuals with disabilities

News, Life-Stories and Events from UCP of Stanislaus County ..March 2021

From the Desk of Chris Martin March 2021! This month will make 1 year of UCP of Stanislaus County programs being closed due to COVID. While it has been a difficult journey, UCP of Stanislaus County has continued to come up with new ways to serve our participants. We are excited to announce that UCP of Stanislaus County will be partnering with Camp Tuolumne Trails to offer a monthly “Day at Camp” series this spring for our participants, and their families or caretakers. This will be a day camp style day of respite that will include activities, nature walks, and much more. The amazing camp kitchen will serve a fabulous lunch, which will include the famous CAMP LEMONADE! I am not sure what their secret ingredient is, but everyone loves it! We have high hopes that this addition to our services will help give those we serve a break from being home all the time. All COVID safety precautions will be in place including wearing of masks, social distancing, hand washing and sanitizing. Contact your Program Manager for more details. Recycling is coming back!

UCP Spirit Week brings smiles to many February is known as the month of love and friendship, at UCP we decided to celebrate both with a Virtual Spirit Week. Our daily themes for the week were Sports Day, Disney Day, Tie-Dye Day, Marvel Day and Valentine’s Day. Everyone was encouraged to participate and show their UCP spirit by wearing their favorite themed attire each day and send in their pictures. If you missed the Facebook posts throughout the week, here are a few of the highlights.

Board Briefs

A few fun facts about UCP Board of Directors Vice-President Corinne Santos, who has been a part of the UCP family since 2019…  Favorite beer, wine, water or other…? I am a big fan of champagne & wine When and where did you first hear about UPC Stanislaus? F&M Bank was a sponsor of the Safari Dash, which was a blast and I got to dress up as a cheetah. I was moved by all the volunteers and staff working hard to include all their members in the event.  What unique skills or talents do you bring to the Board? My background in banking enables me to bring a different approach to the overall financial health of the organization. I love networking and spreading the word of the good works UCP does for our community. The BEST thing about COVID is….? We have become very creative with stay-at-home activities such as junk food wine pairing.  What must people know about UCP Stanislaus that they don’t? UCP offers their members “real life” skills that enable them to expand their lifestyles through employment, education and hobbies. It offers them the support of a UCP family and friends that enrich their lives beyond the stereotypical barriers. Your go-to Karaoke song is…?  Love Shack by the B-52’s!
