Holme Circle resident Joe Little, of Mower Street, was presented a certificate of appreciation during the Friends of Pennypack Park monthly meeting Thursday at the Lafayette-Redeemer Home on 8580 Verree Rd.

The certificate was awarded mutually by the neighbors of Holme Circle and the Friends of Pennypack Park for Little’s continual efforts in independently removing trash and litter from the park’s Holme Circle area these past several months. 

The certificate reads:  “For your commitment and tireless energy in keeping  our park and neighborhood litter free and, thereby, helping to restore civic pride in our community.”

Elsie Stevens lives in Holme Circle and is a member of the 8th Police District Advisory Council, Holme Circle Civic Association, Friends of Lower Dublin Academy and Friends of Holmesburg Library. You can see all her NEast Philly contributions here.
