Giving Tuesday: Crispus Attucks Park

Hello

Friends of Crispus Attucks Park! Don't forget your favorite neighborhood gem, Crispus Attucks Park on Giving Tuesday - November 28, 2017! Help us keep the Park beautiful and growing!

Click here: http://crispusattucksparkdc.org/donate/

We're working on our 2018 capital project to repair the retaining wall along the V Street alley in the park and finally replace the old, ugly, chain link fence. This year we planted new trees and new planting beds, had a successful Bloomie Nights Movies in the Park series (despite Mother Nature's best efforts!), and had another fantastic (and DELICIOUS) Yard Sale and Taste of Bloomingdale in May. And THIS SATURDAY join us for our Fall park Work Day!

can you submit letters of support regarding an easement behing Uncle Chip's Cookies, Fresh Cuts and North Capitol Pharmacy ?

See this 11-25-2017 message from the Shannon Boyle, business owner and property owner of Uncle Chip’s Cookies, 1514 North Capitol Street NW:

I am collecting letters of support (due this Monday, November 27!) to present to city council and our ANC.  It’s regarding a development going up on the corner, but the property wraps around Fresh Cuts, North Capitol Pharmacy and Uncle Chip’s.

We have been talking to the city about this since July 2014 and with the developer since July 2017 and have not come to a solution.  Right now, we are trying to collect letters so that we can get the city or the developer to consider our business needs seriously before they do the transaction with the city.

Thanks for your support!
