12/24 Weekly Email
Hi all,
As usual I wanted to get this out early this week - I know many people (including myself) are taking time off in conjunction with the holiday.
I want to wish everyone a very happy holiday season, including, but not limited to, whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, Yule, New Year’s, and/or Chinese New Year’s (which is part of the holiday season but still a little ways down the road). Everyone in our group works hard to make this City amazing and you all deserve plenty of time to rest and relax before the start of the coming year in whatever way is important to you and your families.
New Years Holiday: Don’t forget that next Thursday is New Year’s Day and a City of Tempe holiday. Please don’t come to work if you’re not scheduled. For those that do have to work, thanks for your dedication to keep Tempe clean, safe, and responsive to the needs of the public.
Mobile Mammograms: The City is once again offering free mammograms through the Mobile Mammography group throughout the month of January. They also have a new service this year that will provide even more accurate cancer detection for an extra $40 - while not free, the cost could be covered by your Flexible Spending Accounts or Mediflex accounts. 13% of women (1 in 8) will develop breast cancer at some point during their life and 2.3% of those with breast cancer will die from it - it’s really worth it to take advantage of this resource if you’re covered by Tempe insurance.
January Member Meeting(s): UAEA will be having its first-ever annual members meeting on January 15th. This meeting will go over what UAEA worked on in 2025, what we’re planning to do in 2026, upcoming opportunities for member involvement, and will have a little time for one-on-one questions with the board. We are planning to do two sessions on January 15th, one at 5:30am at TMOC Building 1 (2090 W Rio Salado Parkway, Tempe, AZ), and one at 12pm at the Tempe Historical Museum (809 E Southern Ave, Tempe, AZ). Both sessions will be available virtually if you can’t attend in person, but we’d love to see as many members as possible. You can rsvp here for both sessions and submit questions in advance.
Warmest Wishes,
