In University City, Summer is just getting started. But first, UCCA would like to thank all the volunteers, venders, and supporters who made the UC Celebration on the 4th July at Standley Park possible. It’s neighbors like you who help to make University City such as special place to live. Let’s keep the community spirit alive with the first Summer Concert of the season on Sunday, July 12.
Save the Date for the Planning Group meeting (Zoom available) on Tuesday, July 14, at which Colonel Herrmann from MCAS Miramar will be the special guest.
Please note there’s a lot going on in University City over the next two months. We look forward to seeing out and about in University City where we are more than just a neighborhood.
