“Come Volunteer in Rock Creek Park for #MLKDay

Join Rock Creek Conservancy on Saturday, January 16th and Monday, January 18th in honor of the 2016 MLK Day of Service. Over 15 volunteer activities are happening throughout Washington, DC, and Montgomery County, MD. Volunteer activities include (1) cutting invasive English ivy from trees as part of the Conservancy’s effort to protect the Rock Creek tree canopy; (2) cutting invasive vines such as berry and Oriental bittersweet so natives can grow in the park; (3) cleaning up trash that has accumulated along streams; and (4) laying mulch to improve trail access. 

Visit our website for more information and the most up to date event details. If you are interested in getting a group involved, please email [email protected]

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.
