Update 3/9/2023 from president Diane Ahern: During the March 8, UCCA Zoom meeting, we were visited by an intruder who made some inappropriate comments during the Pure Water presentation and posted some inappropriate comments in the chat. Thanks to all my co-hosts who worked to get this person off our call including Sarah Bowles, Chris Nielsen, Katie Rodolico, and Mack Langston. I was able to erase the person’s comments in the chat but not the image this person drew. UCCA is making this recording available to those who request a link. Please contact UCCA at UniversityCityNews@gmail.com to request the link.
