D&R Greenway Land Trust Congratulates Three Local Girls Honored by the Junior League of Greater Princeton for Building Community Through Good Works

originally published: 07/28/2021


(PRINCETON, NJ) -- D&R Greenway congratulates Emmy Stenull [age 13]; Allie Martin [age 12]; and Alexandra Kasimatis [age 9] for having been granted a Certificate of Recognition for Outstanding Community Work from the Junior League of Greater Princeton in a June ceremony.  The girls were honored alongside HomeFront, Arm in Arm, Mercer St. Friends and RISE.

The “3 Helping Hands” came up with a unique nature project, because, as they wrote to D&R Greenway, “We are dedicated to making a difference in our world.” They painted flowerpots, then planted flowers to sell to neighbors, each purchase adorned with a colorful, helpful note. Volunteering runs in the Martin family, as Allie’s father, William Martin serves on the land trust’s board of trustees. They donated their entire proceeds, of $178.00, to D&R Greenway “to help save the environment.”

Community projects are a monthly undertaking for the three girls. Previously, they raised and donated money to help with the COVID-19 vaccine through Johnson & Johnson. They also collected over 500 non-perishable food items distributed through Aunt Chubby's Luncheonette in Hopewell to families in need.

"We wish to continue doing projects to help our community and world; organizations like yours inspire us to do so." -- The 3 Helping Hands.    Follow them on Instagram for their future projects.

Linda Mead, D&R Greenway CEO & President, praises the generosity and commitment of these three girls, as well as Hopewell’s Callie Considine, whose dedicated efforts helped D&R Greenway Land Trust permanently protect  St. Michaels Farm Preserve in Hopewell. In 2010, we celebrated the tenth anniversary of this preserve that is beloved by the community: "These young people, who have taken personal action to protect nature, are an inspiration to all of us. Their commitment is an embodiment of the third part of our non-profit’s mission: To Preserve, To Care, To Inspire."
