How can this organization be 34 years old? What has UCC ever done for the Cambodian Community anyway? A lot of people don't even know the existence of the UCC. In fact it got kicked out from its first home and now it is located on that sorry-azzed looking building. Has anyone ever seen any publications like a newsletter just to say the very least at all coming out of the UCC? NOPE. The management team of the UCC has never learned the game well enough and mismanagement is a major problem. It is time for the UCC to publish some kind of a newsletter to inform the public about its upcoming events or some work completed in the community. Learn and know your game already, dang it. 34 years old my ass. I thought it was just created like some few years back and now it looks like it is going down the drain for sure because of the huge incompetencies there.
