QVNA Haiku Thank you, volunteers who deliver magazines and do so much more
QVNA’S 2019
HOLIDAY PARTY
N
inety-one neighbors volunteered to distribute our Winter 2020 issue to homes on their blocks -- and many to homes on other blocks as well. Through their collective efforts, more than 3,200 Queen Village Quarterly Criers are hand delivered throughout our neighborhood.* Even more neighbors volunteered to count and bundle the magazine and deliver those bundles to our 91 home distributors. So what happens to the additional 1,000 copies of the printed version of the Crier? Well, between now and February 2020, we’ll see “regular” and new volunteers stop by QVNA as their time permits, pick 10-30 copies of the magazine, and drop them off at their favorite coffee shops, eateries, businesses and stores in Queen Village. If our past three issues are a measure, that means we’ll have about 10 left in the office for the QVNA archives. And, as you can see from page six, volunteers contributed many of the articles and photos you see in this issue. QVNA is volunteer-driven. For fifty years, we’ve depended on the time, talents, and resources of neighbors who want to help improve Queen Village through community stewardship, advocacy and service. ■
