Friends,
Spring is finally here! While we are excited to see more sunshine and longer days, it is also the time to remind everyone to still social distance, wear a mask, get tested frequently and if eligible to take the vaccine.
As we are nearing the end of March-Women’s International Month, I was happy to attend the Bronx Chamber of Commerce Women of Distinction Virtual Celebration and couldn’t be prouder to celebrate and provide a $1,000 scholarship to Akilah Campbell a student who has shown academic excellence throughout her four years at the University Heights High School.
This week we kickstarted our District 13 Adopt-A-Trash Can Program for businesses in our commercial corridors. Thank you to local businesses on a City Island, Pelham Bay and Pelham Parkway businesses for embracing the initiative to help keep our neighborhoods clean.
As we are cautiously and safely expanding our outdoor events, after the successful Easter Egg Hunt in Throggs Neck and a great St Patrick’s Day in Edgewater, we look forward to our Meet the Easter Bunny event tomorrow in Pelham Parkway.
The IRS has postponed the Tax Deadline to May 17th and constituents in District 13 can still take advantage of our Free Tax Preparation Services by calling our District Office for an appointment.
We have been with you throughout this pandemic and will continue to be with you. Please do not hesitate to contact my office with any issues or concerns at 718-931-1721 or email at MGjonaj@council.nyc.gov.
Sincerely,
NYC Councilman Mark Gjonaj
District 13, Bronx
