Today, in a ceremony held at Harrison Park, on the 1300 block of V Street, NW at 10:00am, the Meridian Hill Neighborhood Association received a Helping Hands award from District of Columbia Department of Public Works Director Christopher Shorter.  Then twenty residents braved a steady rain while they gathered trash from sidewalks, streets and yards, spread mulch, and weeded.  Thank you to everyone who joined us this morning.
