Babysitting, yard service or other service offered by local kids

What's the difference between business and neighborly commerce like yard sales? The basic standard is whether the activity is occasional or continuous.

The Clarion, which is the neighborhood newsletter, will continue to be sent out separately but will also be posted as a file to our Yahoo group page for archiving purposes.

The officers of the Collingwood-On-The-Potomac Citizen's Association and the moderator of this group reserve the right to monitor communications within the group and to enforce standards of civility and decency.
