About 50 or so people showed up on Sunday July 15 at 61st and Roosevelt to spend a couple of hours cleaning up Woodside. Sure it was hot and muggy, but it made us feel better. Even my kids, who could have found "much better things" to do agreed it was nice. Nothing builds community like believing in the idea of community.

Our Congressman Joseph Crowley, Joseph Onorato, the State Senator from Western Queens, and our Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer were all there and before the clean-up took some time listening to constituents.
