This email is intended to keep the Sarah Heinz House community - especially our

adult members - informed about special activities and events at the House!

Safety First Reminders

As we welcome our summer day campers, we appreciate your patience and cooperation as we share our facilities with youth throughout the day.

Shower access remains unavailable after 10 AM through August 10th due to YOUTH Day Camp programming!

Thank you for helping us create a positive experience for members of all ages!

Reminder: Please Scan In/Out with Copilot!

We appreciate your active participation in our community! As a friendly reminder, please remember to scan in and out during your visits. This is a vital part of our 'layers of protection' practices. It helps us understand who is in the building in the event of an emergency.

Be sure to check in at the front desk with Copilot and, if applicable, Silver Sneakers.

When using CoPilot, please select the correct tiles for insurance, lunch, programs, and more.

Your cooperation helps us serve you better and, more importantly, keep you safe!

Upcoming Building Closure - Friday, July 3

This is a reminder that SHH will be closed on Friday, July 3, in observance of the Fourth of July.

Thank you for your understanding!

Daily Lunch for Older Adult Members! 🍽️

We’re thrilled to offer a complimentary lunch to our wonderful older adult members every Monday through Friday at noon! While the meal is at no charge, a suggested donation of just $2 per meal is greatly appreciated, as it helps offset the cost of this service. To ensure everyone can participate, please reserve your spot by 11 AM two business days in advance at the Copilot computer in the lobby.

If you happen to miss the reservation, don’t worry! You can still add your name to the waitlist at the front desk. We'll do our best to accommodate everyone, but please understand that we can't promise a meal for those on the waitlist. Your understanding is truly appreciated!

When you arrive for lunch, please remember that the Sarah Heinz House Code of Conduct applies at all times in our Café and throughout the building. We kindly ask that everyone treat our dedicated staff and volunteer lunch attendants with respect, as any inappropriate behavior may lead to the loss of this fantastic benefit for those who do not. We’re grateful for our volunteers’ support and know you’ll give your best conduct in return!

If you need to cancel your reservation or will be arriving late, just give us a quick call at (412) 231-2377 and select Option 0. Thank you for your cooperation and consideration!

We can’t wait to see you soon and share a lovely meal together!

July Lunch Social - July 14

We're excited to invite you to our lunch social on Tuesday, July 14! Bring a dozen of your favorite treats or desserts to share.

Don’t forget to preregister for lunch on Copilot—can’t wait to enjoy delicious food and great company with you!

Parking at the House

Effective June 8th, to enhance your experience as our valued Adult Members, we invite you to use the lower parking lot, conveniently located directly in front of the building, exclusively.

To accommodate the large increase in employees during the summer months, we’ve asked staff to park in the upper lot and at an alternate off-site location. This change will help ensure that premium parking spaces remain available for you.

As a reminder, please drive carefully when entering and exiting the parking lot, as children and families may be arriving or departing for summer camp programming.

Thank you for your continued support and cooperation!
