Dear Friends,
I hope you and your families are doing well as New York City hit a major milestone in its vaccination campaign this week with 75 percent of all adults having received at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine. Let’s continue to encourage our families and friends to get vaccinated. Please find a vaccination site near you at https://vaccinefinder.nyc.
The death toll from last Saturday's powerful earthquake in Haiti has risen to more than 2,000. The people of Haiti need our help and amidst thoughts, prayers and solidarity, please join our Haiti Earthquake Relief Drive as our District Office is accepting donations of much needed items: canned goods, dry food, bottled water, baby supplies, toiletries, batteries etc, Monday through Friday between 10am and 4pm until August 27th.
Alarmed by the rise in illegal dirt bike usage, I am glad to lead the efforts with over 22 members of the New York City Council calling on the Mayor to take immediate action to increase penalties and change enforcement policies for illegal dirt bikes as the situation continues to rapidly escalate into an all-out public safety crisis.
We are proud of an eventful summer in District 13 with so many concerts and ending with a Concert in City Island, a tribute to Pepe Cardona with the music of Alive & Kicking and other musicians on Friday, August 20th at 6PM at the Ambrosini Field.
Team Gjonaj has given out over 600 bookbags and supplies and counting. Please follow us on our social media, check the Week in Review or call our office for locations and times.
Our Free Fitting Helmet Distribution on Pelham Bay Park was a great success with over 400 helmets given out to children and families in our District.
Please remember we are here for you, 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
