Parking Committee
 
Union Mills has a Parking Committee that helps ensure fair access to parking throughout the community, addresses parking concerns and helps alleviate issues related to use of parking spots. Our Parking Committee needs your help! We need a few more volunteers who can help on the committee. We have several opportunities depending on your interest and time commitment. Here is a look at some of the opportunities:
 
Special committee projects are great way to volunteer without a long-term commitment! 
Townhome court representatives:
Assist the committee and community in communicating and representing your court for parking-related matters, make parking policy suggestions, etc. 
This can be a rotating role for 6-12 months between members on that court
 
Social Committee
 
If fun is your middle name, our Social Committee may be the place for you! The Social Committee plans and leads social events throughout the year that help facilitate a strong sense of community in our neighborhood. This includes monthly outdoor movie nights during the warm weather season, pool parties, fall festival and chili cook-off, egg hunts, community clean-ups and more! Volunteering with this amazing team can range from chairing a specific event, to helping with setup and cleanup, to running a craft table or welcoming people new to the community. There are many places to get involved with this crew where you’ll work alongside great neighbors and bring the fun to UMCA! It doesn’t require a big time commitment, but your participation can make a huge impact. Please email social@unionmills.com if interested with any of these volunteering opportunities or attend one of our next meetings.
 
Here are some of the existing activities we need your help with (but more can be added depending on volunteers availability):
Welcome Committee: They would introduce the community to the new neighbors and present the welcome package which includes useful information about our community and a small gift.
at least one or two representatives from each court (including single house family area)
Movie nights: You’ll help either by selecting the right movie, setting up the audio/video system, setting up snacks and beverages, helping with the clean up afterwards, etc.
we have a great group of volunteers that coordinates movies for smaller kids; would be great to find volunteers to chair similar events for older kids
Yard sale: volunteer(s) to chair (or just help setup/cleanup day of event) events in spring and fall
Community cleanup:
coordinate community cleanups in spring and fall
involve different age groups and families (kids may need community service hours at school)
Spring activities:
Easter Egg Hunt or other spring activities
Winter activities:
Holiday Decor: help setup holiday wreaths or other holiday decor at our community entrances
Holiday Scavenger Hunt
Youth activities:
coordinate activities for different age groups
Senior resident activities
some of the ideas we received so far is to coordinate bridge games or walking groups
