Village of Arlington Heights

It’s #SpotlightSaturday, and today we’re shining the spotlight on Senior Center Administrative Assistant, Helen Cooke! Helen has been a dedicated member of the Senior Services Division within the Health and Human Services Department since 2014. If you’ve ever called the Arlington Heights Senior Center to ask a question or register for a program, chances are you’ve spoken to Helen! In her role, she manages the building calendar, coordinates room setups, oversees accounts payable, registers patrons for programs, and books appointments for popular services, including the Senior Health Insurance Program (SHIP) and AARP Tax-Aide. Her favorite part of the job? “We have a one-of-a-kind Senior Center,” Helen said. “I enjoy educating our patrons about the many wonderful programs and services we offer, telling them about the seven other agencies in our building, and helping to create a warm and welcoming environment for our patrons.” Thank you, Helen, for your continued commitment to making the Senior Center a welcoming place for all! 👏

For our first #FireFriday we're welcoming three new Firefighters who successfully completed their probationary period and were officially sworn in by the Village Clerk. Welcome to the Arlington Heights Fire Department! 👏

This Christmas Eve morning, off duty members of the Arlington Heights Fire Department and their families helped spread cheer by providing holiday meals to local families in need.
