[from Denaise S.]
I had the privilege of joining Councilmember Muriel Bowser, community organizers, friends, family and neighbors at Petworth’s Raymond Recreation Center in recognition of the Martin Luther King Holiday and President Obama’s call for service on Monday, January 19, 2009.
There was the neighbor who spotted work crews from his window and carried over brooms, dust pans and shovels. The sweet visitor from North Carolina joined by her host - who came upon the crew while walking his dog - that carefully removed poison ivy while leaving the honeysuckle untouched for springtime delights. And my sister and niece, in from Towson Md., happy to do their part.
It was a cold, wonderful day!
