All functions run by UDEA are performed by UDEA members who volunteer their services.UDEA Membership dues, which comprises of most of UDEAs revenue are used to subsidize activities. The primary activities are summarized below: Employee PicnicThis is UDEAs most resource intensive activity. It is held for employees and families, usually during the month of August, it provides an opportunity fellow employees to spend more time together in a fun, social non-work setting. Traditionally it is held at an amusement park or similar facility able to accommodate a large number of people. There are various activities and a BBQ style lunch is served. There are many activities for children as well as adults. Because of budget constraints, UDEA did not have a picnic in 2015. However, an event will be held in 2016 with the board opting to allow UDEA members to vote on where the picnic is held. Subsidies not used in 2015 will be carry forwarded to reduce the cost to members for the 2016 Picnic to be held in August 2016. Children's Holiday Party In 2015, the Childrens Holiday Party was the primary source of expenditures. For employees with children / grandchildren between the ages of 0 to 12, a holiday party is held in December with small gifts provided for each child. This was the highlight UDEAs activities in 2015.and was an important event that helped promote a family and fellowship among employees.

Toys were purchased in bulk at discount rates. Additional toys were sold to members with children / grandchildren at the discounted rate. UDEA does not make a profit on these sales and uses the proceeds for the subsequent years Childrens Holiday party. Sympathy, Get Well and CongratulationsWhen a member has a hardship, such as an extended illness or a death in the family, UDEA sends a sympathy card to the family on behalf of fellow UDEA members. This is done by a volunteer coordinator.Events throughout the year These activities happen throughout the year where UDEA volunteers obtain discounts for members for ticketed events.
