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.

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.

Jessica Triangle Work Party Sunday 9/4/22

Jessica Triangle Work Party Sunday 9/4/22 8am – 10am

The Triangle is thirsty! Please come out to water, trim some dead branches, pull some weeds and help with general clean up. A neighbor kindly allows us to use his hose and water. Citywide, hand watering is allowed before 9am. Bring gloves and any tools you prefer. Its a nice way to meet some neighbors!

Jessica Triangle is the landmark at the intersection of Jessica Drive and Cleland Avenue. Beginning in the late 90′s, local residents helped transform the triangle from a litter-strewn patch of asphalt to a beautifully landscaped drought-tolerant pocket park, and neighbors have been maintaining it ever since. You can read about our involvement in maintaining it on our website.
