Sam Hughes Neighborhood Association Inc.Home Tour RaffleThe Sam Hughes Neighborhood Association and Home Tour Committee thank the following businesses and individuals for their generosity and support by donating to the Home Tour Raffle. Raffle proceeds benefit three non-profits located in Sam Hughes: Himmel Branch Public Library (celebrating their 50th anniversary); Literacy Volunteers of Tucson (celebrating their 50th anniversary); and Tucson Alliance for Autism.
Sam Hughes Neighborhood Home TourThe popular Sam Hughes Neighborhood Home Tour was held on Sunday, March 13, 2011. Proceeds from the tour will go to neighborhood projects. Proceeds from the raffle will be divided among Himmel Branch Library, Literacy Volunteers of Tucson, and Tucson Alliance for Autism --- all of which were on the tour. We featured homes, gardens, art studios, new businesses, and other points of interest that reflect the nature of our historic neighborhood. ![]() Sam Hughes Cares for SeniorsPLEASE NOTE: Sam Hughes has transitioned the "Seniors Cares program" to: www.IcsTucson.org. If you or a senior you know needs medical transport or light housekeeping, friendly phone calls/visits, yard work, please call ICS at 297-2738 ext 206.
After a recent meeting at Himmel Library hosted by ICS, we can now officially cease the Sam Hughes Cares for Seniors program, which has been providing neighborly help to our seniors since November, 2006. Thanks again to all our volunteers over the years, to our private donors, and to the Sam Hughes Neighborhood Association for funding and moral support. Special appreciation to the five coordinators since we began this project in January, 2005: Kay Roth (neighbor paid through a United Way grant), Phil Mueller, MJ Talbot, Carolyn Classen, and Trudy Mills – the last four were all volunteer neighbors, dedicated to helping the elderly in Sam Hughes. Trudy Mills deserved special recognition for her coordination for over 2 years. And thanks to Pima Council on Aging and their Neighbors Care Alliance program which provided technical assistance in overseeing all the other twenty or so similar programs throughout Pima County. If you or a senior you know needs medical transport or other help (light housekeeping, friendly phone calls/visits, yard work), please call ICS at 297-2738 X 206. Also see their website, www.icstucson.org. And if you want to volunteer for ICS, please contact them as well as they do the volunteer training, and hopefully may be able to assign you to an elderly person(s) in our neighborhood. ....Older Articles |
