Take a look at current and past issues of UCCA’s University City newsletters, and you may see ‘ancient’ history … or maybe you’ll see tradition. Ten years ago, the top stories included breakfast with Santa, the tree lighting ceremony, and emergency preparedness.
In 2015, it’s Dinner with Santa and the Tree and Menorah Lighting with holiday music, combined into one large event, sure to delight kids of all ages, Friday, December 11, 5-7:30 PM, at Standley Recreation Center on Governor. For ticket information, refer to Standley’s Winter Program.
In 2005, the UC community was reviewing emergency preparedness guidelines and encouraging CERT (community emergency response team) training; and recognizing Greg Hom as the first UC resident to complete CERT training.
In 2015, the December newsletter has a story encouraging emergency preparedness and a revitalization of UC’s CERT program.
