Jessica Triangle Weedathon 4/8/18

2017 Weedathon

2017 Weedathon

HAPPY SPRING!

Join us Sunday, April 8, from 9 am – 11 am to help pull weeds and beautify our little pocket park. Bring your favorite tools (gloves, clippers, rakes) – we’ll have trash bags and water.

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.

Please consider donating 30 minutes of your time or $10 from your pocket. Walk-by and drive-by cash donations accepted, or online at mtwashingtonjessica.org/donate/.

MWJN Radio Practice 8/6 & 8/13

Radio Communications - CERT Drill 2014

Radio Communications – CERT Drill 2014

Get Ready for the Drill on 8/19

FRS Radios – inexpensive  battery operated walkie-talkies – are the perfect tool for disasters.  We’ll be practicing on Sunday 8/6 and Sunday 8/13 from Noon – 4:00 PM.

We’re on Channel 13 if you want to test your radio – just call in. If you need help learning how to use the radio, come by 909 Oneonta Drive (near Olancha and 5 Points) for hands-on guidance either Sunday afternoon.

Don’t have a radio? We have some available for a suggested donation of $20 for one or $35 for a pair.  A little more than Home Depot, but will Home Depot teach you how to use it?
