One of the benefits of being part of the local moms club is that you will learn about our local schools and neighborhood happenings. Many of our members enjoy getting involved in events and activities around the neighborhood and neighborhood planning. We have representatives of the club that serve as liaisons to University Park Community Council (UPCC) and University Park Parent Teacher Association. The liaisons provide a voice at meetings on items that are important to young families as well as a communication vehicle back to members.
To learn more about neighborhood activities see our Events Calendar or contact one of our liaisons pta@uparkmoms.org or webmaster@uparkmoms.org (UPCC).
