Please make every effort to be at the next VIRTUAL TOWN HALL MEETING, Thursday, February 18 at 3:00pm, so you can help develop the type of virtual village best suited to you. Your leadership and feedback is vitally important! Just think! Together we can create this village to be whatever we choose.

VillagesOKC is a virtual neighborhood enabling mature adults to come together to learn, plan and serve with spirit and dignity. For many, VillagesOKC will provide a way to remain in our homes longer because we are doing life with a larger circle of good, trusted friends. We do that by continuing to learn, plan and serve each other. As Saint Francis said, “It is in giving that we receive.” VillagesOKC members give time and talents and receive blessings, energy and improved quality of life. However, situations and seasons change presenting new opportunities and different interests. Covid and zoom meetings are just two examples. This TOWN MEETING on ZOOM is the time for us together to make some decisions.  

• Look at what other villages are doing and evaluate what we had in place for the past year
  • The Calendar events
  • Learning opportunities (MindRAMP)
  • Planning Opportunities (The GIFT)
  • Serving Opportunities (office, Porch Pals, event or program leadership)

• Eliminate what we no longer need (or want)
• Add what we’d like to see in 2021
• Offer to be responsible with the talent and time each has.
  • Look at all the possibilities
  • Identify the best or most interesting

Although we are modeled after the other 300+ villages across the nation, VillagesOKC is a member-driven organization designed to function for members here in Oklahoma City…from Guthrie to Norman and Choctaw to El Reno. You can purchase transportation anywhere; but you cannot buy friendship. VillagesOKC is not a transaction for a service at a cost of $20.83 per month, rather it is an opportunity to be an integral part of organized friendships with boundaries and liability insurance to insure no one carries too great a load. For me, VillagesOKC is an opportunity to use some of the skills I’ve learned throughout the years – and that is energizing.  

But it won’t be a village with only one person. So, will you join me on this journey?
