Assistance to Upshur County Senior Citizen’s Organization (UCSCO).

RPUC (Republican Party Upshur County) sponsors UCSCO Building Renovation. Under the leadership of Ken Ambrose, the newly elected Republican Chairman, a bond of support for the Senior Citizens Organization in Gilmer, Texas has been established.

The motto for the new RPUC is to bring harmony and teamwork among the party members and establish a well-balanced relationship with citizens of this community.

Reorganization of the party was the first step taken in the planning cycle.  The second among several programs being considered, is sponsoring a project that will lend assistance to this county’s Senior Citizen Organization in Gilmer.

This assistance will come in the form of maintenance and renovation of the UCSCO building located at 201 Silver Alley.  Committee meetings have been ongoing for several weeks with representatives of the UCSCO and RPUC.

John Clement, one of several new Vice Chairmen appointed by Chairman Ambrose has taken the lead in heading up the sponsorship committee and managing this project. The committee’s first priority was given to the plumbing maintenance requirements.  As of this date, the first of several plumbing problems have been corrected.

 A contract for landscaping and lawn care has been established and will begin August 1, 2010.

Realizing a need for funding of the planned projects, plans are to solicit aid from State and Federal grants and community citizens and organizations.

Senior Citizens of this county have given the youthfulness of their lives adding to the successful living and peaceful enjoyment experienced by today’s generation.  It is certainly important that we pay honor and tribute to the valued members of our community that are in their Golden Age.
