New seniors nonprofit announces July 1 launch, invites Fairview officials to ribbon cutting
Summary
A neighborhood nonprofit (identified in the meeting transcript as "Uphrader Village") told the Fairview City Council it will begin full member services July 1 and invited the mayor and city manager to a launch event at Main City Park in Gresham.
Kate Foreman, chair of the steering council for Uphrader Village, told the Fairview City Council on May 21 that the nonprofit — which will provide social activities and volunteer services for older residents in East County — will begin filling member service requests on July 1.
“We will be fully operational and start filling our member service requests July 1,” Foreman said. She invited Fairview elected officials to a July 1 launch party at 1 p.m. at Main City Park in Gresham; the event will include food, a ribbon cutting and member giveaways.
Foreman said Uphrader Village has offered social and educational events for a year and will serve older neighbors in Gresham, Troutdale, Fairview and nearby communities. Mayor Feuderman and councilors praised the program’s social‑connection focus, noting research that links social ties and improved longevity.
No council action was required; the presentation was informational and the council expressed support and plans to attend the launch event.
