The Common Good

Clean and Green

Community members did a solid for the planet this fall at neighborhood clean-ups and at the QVNA-organized e-cycling event.

For the Planet

Queen Villagers came out in force for QVNA’s semi-annual e-cycling and shredding event in November.

New recycling bins were available for the asking!

Councilman Mark Squilla got into the e-cycling action. There were treasures to be had! Samantha Pearson, Rep. Isaacson’s chief of staff, on the job!

Councilman Mark Aquilla and State Rep. Mary Isaacson with Society Hill residents Bob Curley, and Paul Boni. Curley is former president of the Society Hill Civic Association (SHCA) and Boni is chair of the SHCA zoning committee.

Raking It Up

A volunteer crew that included Gail Chapman, Andrew Mell, and Joshua Denny came out in force for the day. J.P. Morgan digs in.
