Happy Thanksgiving University City.
From UCCA’s president Jemma Samala: It’s Thanksgiving week and Thanksgiving Day will soon be here. We look forward to staying safe and healthy so that we can enjoy the winter holidays. And it’s time to say Thank You to our University City neighbors.
We, the volunteers at University City Community Association (UCCA), are looking for ways to keep the ‘thanks’ in Thanksgiving. We give thanks to the many UCCA members who, through their membership dues, help support and fund many events and projects in University City including special activities at our local schools and at Standley Park.
Membership dues help UCCA continue to publish a print newsletter, host public meetings, and provide news and information to community residents through our email lists, website, and social media posts.
We thank our newsletter advertisers without whom we would not be able to publish our monthly print newsletter with over 100 volunteers delivering over 6,000 copies.
We’re also thankful for all the volunteers who give tirelessly to our community through various volunteer organizations such as UCCA, the Parks Council, EdUCate!, PTAs, UC Cluster, Planning Group, Community Recreation Group, UC Garden Club, UC Fire Safe Council, and UCCA’s own University City News newsletter delivery team, various special committees such as Senior Watch and neighborhood watch volunteers.
Our general meetings continue to provide a forum for residents to discuss concerns such as city construction projects, neighborhood safety, traffic issues, local development, neighborhood cleanup, and more. They are also a chance to hear regular updates from local law enforcement and fire/rescue officers, and state and local leaders.
Now is the time to join UCCA or renew your membership for the 2026 calendar year to continue UCCA’s efforts to support our University City community. If you haven’t had a chance, why not update your membership or make a donation today?
