IT TAKES A VILLAGE
Good Things Happen in Queen Village Recounting community service by volunteers caught in action.
Keeping Up With The Commons
O
n breezy warm Saturdays in October and November, clean and green activities were in the air. As cadres of community volunteers pruned,
planted, raked, swept, and bagged their way through Weccacoe playground and our pocket parks, QVNA cameras caught the action.
Love Your (Mario Lanza) Park How many leaves can 18 neighbors rake and bag? Mario Lanza Park’s last count was 57 (or was it 59?). Volunteers Brad Aronson and Marcel Ricciardelli tied for first place in the leaf bag-lifting competition.
Rediscovering The Bainbridge Triangle In late October, the Triangle on Bainbridge (where East Passyunk meets 5th Street) was transformed from a tent of weedy vines to a tailored garden with a freshly pruned tree. From left to right are Matt Atkins,
Heather Simmons, and Mike Harris. Two more hardworking volunteers (hiding from the camera) are Dana Feinberg and Ed Bell. And a big shout-out to Gigi Pizza for providing pizzas to our crew!
Volunteer Karl Janowitz left no leaf unturned, un-raked or unbagged!
