SNOW REMOVAL FOR OUR SENIOR NEIGHBORS
The Juniper Park Civic Association has arranged with the Juniper Juniors to remove snow for our senior neighbors.
Seniors just need to phone the Civic’s office: 718-651-5865.The Civic will contact a Junior who lives nearest to the homeowner. The Junior will then contact the homeowner to arrange the snow removal. The Juniper Junior is willing to remove snow for reasonable payment. The homeowner and the Junior will make those arrangements. The Civic Association will receive no payment. These Juniper Juniors are the youngsters who have been removing graffiti throughout our community, helping plant daffodils in Juniper Park, and who have been learning to become good citizens and our future community leaders.

Snow removal is another opportunity for these youngsters to make another contribution.
