2024 Potluck in the Park

SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 2024

Neighbors enjoying their meals at the 2023 MWJN Potluck in the Park — *Potluck in the Park 2023*

Please come to our annual potluck in Cleland Park on June 15.

Bring Something to Share!

Meet Your Neighbors!

Have Some Fun!

WHAT YOU BRING:

If you’re not a cook you can bring a prepared dish, your favorite take out or a beverage. If you bring your own plates or utensils, please label them with your name and contact info so we can get them back to you.

WHAT WE BRING:

MWJN will provide tables, chairs, paper plates/cups/utensils, canopies and a portable toilet.

We try to supply compostable whenever possible. Please note we will have separate receptacles for trash, compostables and recyclables. These will work the same way our home black, green and blue cans work. If you’re unsure where something goes, ask someone at the food table.

A note about beverages: The Park does not allow alcoholic beverages but we will not be checking coffee cups.

WHAT IT COSTS

We do not charge for this event, but donations are gratefully accepted to offset our costs. We accept cash check or Venmo at the event or you can pay with a credit card or PayPal here.

Bring your whole family! Kids are welcome! Dogs must be on leash.

2023 Potluck in the Park 6/17/23

SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 2023

Please come to our favorite social event! Meet your neighbors! Have fun!

Bring a dish to share – if you’re not inclined to cook, consider your favorite take out. Please label any dishes or flatware you want back with your name and contact info.

The park does not allow alcoholic beverages, but we won’t be checking coffee cups.

Kids are more than welcome!

Dogs must be on leash.

We will provide paper plates/napkins/cups etc. Most of what we bring is compostable. We will have separate trash bins for trash (non-food disposables), compostable (food scraps, paper with food on it, etc. and recyclables (bottles, cans, cardboard, plastics with logo). It’s starting to sound confusing but really it’s just like what we’re doing with our colored bins at home.

COME HAVE FUN!!!!

MWJN Little Library Dedication 5/21/23

Jessica Triangle is getting a Little Free Library! Join us on Sunday, May 21, 2023 at 11am as we dedicate our new Little Library to our founding board member, Sharal Churchill. Sharal died on April 15, 2020 (read our in memorium). This is our little way of thanking her for her years of service in the neighborhood and in bringing our organization into existence. Sharal loved Mt. Washington and she also loved books (or anything on paper), so when current board members, Andrew and Sarah Bui proposed they build a little library, it seemed the perfect way to honor her.

We will be congregating in Jessica Triangle at 11am on Sunday, May 21 to officially welcome the Little Library to our neighborhood and to dedicate it to Sharal. Remembrances will be offered and books will be available. If you’ve never visited our little oasis at the intersection of Cleland Ave and Jessica Dr., this would be a good opportunity.

Please bring a chair if standing for more than a short time is an issue. Well behaved children and pets are welcome. Hopefully our delightful spring-like weather will continue.

Jessica Triangle Work Party – 4/23/23

After all the rain and the recent sun, the weeds are crazy! Please come out to Jessica Triangle this Sunday, April 23, from 10am to Noon, to clear some weeds and help with general cleanup. Bring gloves and any tools you prefer. If possible, bring a trash bag or even a green bin (if you live nearby and it’s practical). Remember, working with neighbors is a great preparedness activity.

Support your neighborhood! The Triangle was created by and is maintained by neighbors in this area. We request 30 minutes of your time or a $10 donation. We’ll accept cash on the spot or you can donate here.
