Quarterly Community Meetings

UHCA Community Meetings are our quarterly chance to gather together as neighbors and learn about issues that affect our neighborhood. In addition to UHCA news, events, and updates, we feature representatives with news from the library, our elected officials, planning groups, and more. Special guests are also invited to speak on topical issues that pertain to University Heights. Our meetings take place in the Alice Birney Elementary School auditorium which is located along Campus at the intersection of Meade. We look forward to seeing you there!

June Community Meeting

We’ll be back on September 3rd at Birney- watch this space for more details.

See you this Saturday for the UH Yard Sale and during our many summer events! www.uhsd.org/events
