Volunteer Information Zoom
Gretchen Uhe and Kay Wais
At the end of this year, we will be transitioning out of the leadership roles for the Health Wellness Club in The Villages.
As part of this transition, they are seeking an individual or team who would be interested in taking over leadership of the in-person club meetings and tours so this valuable community resource can continue to thrive for years to come. All interested people were welcomed to attend this brainstorming meeting to discuss ideas for how the club can evolve, how roles and involvement might look and feel for future volunteers, and to answer any questions people may have about how Villages resident lifestyle groups operate.
Kay and Gretchen, our advisor (Mike Banner) and a representative of The Villages Recreation department (Terry Hathaway) participatied along with interested club members.
Tuesday, July 7, 2026 ZOOM
2:00 pm - 3:00 pm Eastern Time Zone

Follow up on the meeting:
Thank you to everyone who attended the July 7 Volunteer Information Zoom and participated in the conversation about the future of the Health Wellness Club’s in-person meetings, tours, and local activities.
We are grateful for the thoughtful questions, encouraging comments, and willingness of several people to consider ways they might be able to help. Some attendees expressed interest in volunteering in different capacities, and that is a very positive and appreciated step.
At this time, however, there is not yet an official leadership transition plan in place, and no individual or team has been confirmed to take over leadership of the in-person club after Kay Wais and Gretchen Uhe transition out of their current leadership roles at the end of 2026.
The conversation is still open. Anyone who feels they may have the interest, skills, time, or heart to help shape the next chapter of the club is still welcome to step forward. This could include leadership, planning, tours, welcoming, communications, speaker coordination, or other support roles.
The future of the in-person Health Wellness Club will likely depend on whether a committed volunteer leader or leadership team emerges. We are encouraged by the interest that has been expressed so far, and we remain hopeful that the right path forward will become clearer in the months ahead.
If you would like to be considered for a volunteer or leadership role, or if you would simply like to explore what might be involved, please reach out.
