President perspective...
New president, new editor, new website... Same great community traditions.
Riding high in U.C.! We’ve just completed a summer full of events unmatched by any other community in the county.
Kicking off the summer was the fantastic 20th annual U.C. Celebration. After the Fourth of July, Standley Park hosted a concert on the remaining Sundays until Labor Day. If that wasn’t enough, our unique Banana Split day in the park brought young and old out in masses. At least 75 gallons of ice cream were scooped out in under an hour.
Coming soon to Standley Recreation Center will be the Halloween party, Tree lighting ceremony, and Breakfast with Santa.
Many of these events would not be possible without committed residents volunteering their time and effort to leading the way in such activities.
Although financial resources are necessary to enact some events, most only require a few to get the ball rolling. However, without replenishing the troops, our community is beginning to lose many of the leaders who see no reason to go it alone.
I’m making a call to arms for residents to get involved beyond financial contributions. I realize many families with small children are unable to participate much but University City does have a sizeable amount of active retirees who could provide meaningful assistance with a social benefit.
The gateway to involvement is to attend the University City Community Association meetings held on the second Wednesday of each month at the Library on Governor Drive at 6:00 p.m. Please join us September 10 with any ideas you may have to improve U.C. Additionally, you may e-mail me at Andy@adreamhomeandloan.com or president@ucca-news.org with your thoughts.
Sincerely,
Andy Freeburn, President
