Dear Friends,
I hope you and your families are doing well. June is the month to celebrate the Graduating Class of 2021. As another year winds down, we are looking forward to celebrate all the achievements of the students, staff and families in District 13. My office will be awarding over 1,300 NYC Council Citations to all graduating students in the District.
The COVID-19 vaccination is an important tool to help stop the pandemic and it requires using all the tools we have available such as wearing masks and social distancing. I am glad co-host a Vaccination Clinic at the Bronx House for our community on June 17th from 12pm - 6pm.
NYC has announced the reopening of Senior Centers on June 14th with physical distancing and mask adherence. This is a big step towards reestablishing an in-person community for older adults who have been greatly impacted during the pandemic.
This week I was proud to stand with Senator Chuck Schumer and other elected officials as we called for more funding for Stand Up to Violence program, a great outreach service initiative at Jacobi Hospital in District 13 that I have supported and funded.
In partnership with the Wildcats, our office has continued to help so many constituents with a lot of cleanup and graffiti removal issues from Pelham Parkway to Throggs Neck.
Tonight we are proud to kick off our Summer Concert Series in Bufano Park with performance by Just Nuts. We look forward to seeing you there and throughout the rest of the concerts and Family Days.
This Sunday, I am also glad to present a Street Co-Naming Ceremony in honor of Joe DeSimone, Former President of the Warriors Football League and an an inspiration to so many.
As always we are here for you, so please do not hesitate to contact my office with issues or concerns at 718-931-1721 or email at MGjonaj@council.nyc.gov.
Sincerely,
NYC Councilman Mark Gjonaj
District 13, Bronx
