October is here and there’s a lot going on in University City. Check out the October newsletter; it’s available online today in PDF form at https://www.universitycitynews.org/ucca-newsletter-archives/ and will be delivered to our Libraries and Recreation Centers over the weekend.
Please note: UCCA will host an In-Person Community Chat Meet Up on Wed, Oct 12, at the Library on Governor. You spoke and we listened. By popular demand, UCCA will not host a Zoom meeting in October but rather will host an in-person Community Chat Meet Up at the Library on Wednesday, October 12, from 5:45 to 7pm.
We’re calling it a Community Chat Meet-Up. Join friends and neighbors and University City Community Association for an informal, in-person, no agenda, Community Chat Meet Up on Wednesday, October 12, from 5:45 to 7 PM at the University Community Library, 4155 Governor Drive. Meet up for networking, to learn more about what’s going on in University City, to hear more about UCCA and upcoming events, and to renew your UCCA membership. All UCCA members will be entered into a drawing for a special gift basket. As an added bonus, you’ll learn more about the new services available through our University Community Library.
