Just like last year, we will be holding the UCT Convention Photo Challenge. Let fellow members know you’ll be attending by taking a selfie or having someone else snap… Continue Reading…

Every day, across North America they’re making a difference in their communities and having a positive impact on those who live there.

Walking… Continue Reading…
