Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson - Community Resources & Updates

 

Dear Neighbors,

 

Thank you for joining us for another week in review. We hope everyone had a joyful and restful Labor Day Weekend!

This week, we hosted our Voter Education Panel with the NYC Racial Justice Commission to learn about potential changes to the New York City Charter. Thank you to the Bronx Community Foundation, DC 37, the NYC Civic Engagement Commission, and Community Capacity Development for engaging in this important conversation with our residents and sharing such valuable information.

We hosted our Trinidad and Tobago Flag Raising Ceremony - a first in Bronx Borough Hall History. Last week was full of TNT and West Indian Pride! Yesterday, Brooklyn graciously hosted us for the West Indian Day Parade and it was incredible. Our Caribbean community has contributed so much to our City and it was a joy to celebrate them.

On Sunday, we hosted our last Bronx Summer Concert Series of the 2022 season. It has been a blast! I looked forward to joining you every Sunday since we started in July. Your energy was incredible! I cannot wait for next year’s Bronx Summer Concert Series - it will be bigger and better. Thank you to our sponsors for helping us make this event possible. Thank you to my staff who put in so many hours of work before, after and during the concerts. Thank you for your labor of love. Last, but certainly not least, thank YOU for coming out week after week, rain or shine, for an afternoon of singing, dancing and community. We’ll see you next year!

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 718-590-3500 or email us at webmail@bronxbp.nyc.gov.

 

In partnership,

Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson
