From UCCA’s President Diane Ahern: It’s April … and we’re looking forward to warmer and sunny weather … and another Aztecs’ win! We’re fortunate to have supportive UCCA members, active volunteers, and local advertisers. You are the neighbors who help support many of the events, activities and programs that make University City more than just a neighborhood.
Yes, there’s a lot going on in University City. UCCA is here to help keep you informed through our websites, print newsletters, community outreach, and public meetings. Scroll down for the April Save the Date Short List and take a look at our April print newsletter for all the details.
But first, please keep in mind that while many publications and websites charge a fee to read articles and publications, UCCA’s University City News remains free as a University City community resource for all. If you can join UCCA or make a donation to help us, please do so at: https://www.universitycitynews.org/join-ucca-today/
