Park View-Yard Sale Benefit for Washington Central Parks
Neighbors in the Park View and Petworth areas are getting together to
host the Great Emancipation National Park Yard Sale on Saturday, May 9,
starting at 9 a.m. This is a fundraiser for the non-profit group
Washington Central Parks: http://www.thecentralparks.org/
As many of you know, Washington Central Parks has worked hard to
establish a “pearl necklace” of green space in north central D.C. for
hikers, bikers and nature lovers. These green pathways would link
spaces including Fort Totten National Park, the Armed Forces Retirement
Home and Lincoln’s Cottage, and McMillan Park and the reservoir. A
central part of the vision is the creation of Emancipation National
Park on a section of the Armed Forces Retirement Home, which was
previously designated for condos.
Here is what you can do:
l. Attend the Yard Sale! Several yards in the 3600 block of Park Place
Northwest in Washington, D.C., adjacent to the beautiful Soldiers Home
campus. This is the block between Princeton and Quebec Streets.) The
sale will start at 9 a.m. on Saturday May 9 and run through the
afternoon.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
