One benefit of being involved in the UPPA is sending your child off to Kindergarten knowing they are already friends with half of the kids in their class.  UPPA Playgroups help make that happen!  Moms and kids can get involved right away and start making new friends.  For more information or to join a group, please contact our Playgroup Coordinator or visit our UPPA Yahoo Group. New playgroups will continue to be formed throughout the school year.

Playgroups
 Help your children meet the families they will be attending Kindergarten with, and enjoy fellowship with area Moms. Contact Playgroups for more information

UPPA Hospitality Committee 

The UPPA HOSPITALITY committee supports UPPA moms who are:

 Expecting or have a new baby;

Dealing with a loss of a family member; or

Recovering from a medical procedure

 If you would like to help these moms and their families, please join the Hospitality Committee – your commitment can be as small or large as you want–even simply taking one meal a year!

Additionally, we want to welcome each new UP mom with preschool-aged kids to our great community and organization.  If you know of a mom that could use some help, or a new neighbor, please email:

The HOSPITALITY HOTLINE

UPPA Mom’s Night Out

Leave the kids at home with Dad and meet us for a well deserved Mom’s Night Out!  Once a month the UPPA members get together for an entirely social evening. It’s a great way to meet other UPPA members and relax for an hour or two. 

Each month a different activity is planned – we do everything from catching a chick flick together, to pajama parties (complete with chair massage!), to everyone’s common interest – shopping together!  Regardless of where we are, there’s always good company, good eats and good libations.  Join us!

UPPA Yahoo Groups

This member-only message board was started just last year and has already made an impact on our members’ ability to connect and share timely information about our community.  Once you join UPPA, you will receive an email inviting you to join the UPPA Yahoo Group.  When you join, you will be able to post messages and read messages posted by other members.  Helpful information such as nannies or housekeepers who are available, neighborhood events for the family, houses for sale, recommendations for craftspeople like plumbers or electricians, advice on childrearing, updates on UP elementary activities, volunteer opportunities and employment opportunities -- these are just a few examples of the types of helpful information posted on the site.  Plus, the site has an interactive calendar where members can post events and remind members of upcoming events.  In addition, there is a “files” section where helpful attachments can be posted and there is a “photos” section where photos can be shared.  So join the UPPA today and start benefiting from the insight and expertise of 200 other UP moms via our UPPA Yahoo Group.
