Council Member Marjorie Velázquez - What's Happening in District 13

 

Dear Neighbor,


As we approach Memorial Day, we remember and honor those who have lost their lives while serving our country. We owe a debt of gratitude to these brave service members, who made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure our safety and freedom. This weekend, let us come together as a community to honor and remember those who have served and continue to serve our beautiful nation.


In this week’s email, you will find information about this Sunday’s Family Day at Ferry Point Park, the NYC Department of Transportation’s upcoming workshops for “Reimagining the Cross Bronx,” the NYC Department of Environmental Protection’s Water Amnesty program, the MTA Mobile Sales Van, and more. For those interested in learning about upcoming events, please scroll to ‘What’s Happening in District 13’ and ‘Save The Date.’ 


To contact our office for additional information or concerns, please call us at  (718) 931-1721 or email us at District13@council.nyc.gov.


Wishing you all a safe and joyous weekend.


Sincerely,

Council Member Marjorie Velázquez



This Sunday! Family Day at Ferry Point Park




Making memories is the best part of our Family Summer

Series, and on Sunday, May 28, families will come together

for an afternoon of life, fun, and laughter at this year’s

Family Day at Ferry Point Park! This year’s activities

include games, bounce houses, an obstacle course, and

more. The first 50 people will also receive tickets to the

New York Botanical Gardens’ Bronx Day.


We are also happy to announce that Assurance Wireless

will be on-site, providing free smartphones and cellular

service to qualifying individuals as a part of the Federal

Lifeline Assistance program. If you would like to

apply for the Federal Lifeline Assistance program, please

bring proof of income, recent program participation,  

and household participation in public assistance programs

(i.e. Medicaid, SNAP, SSI).


Please note that accounts are limited to one per

Mark Your Calendars! Movies Under The Stars

Returns

On Friday, June 23 at the Pelham Bay Park North Picnic

Area, we will have a special presentation of Dr. Strange

and the Multiverse of Madness. Enjoy a night out with

the

family for a movie under the stars (don’t forget to bring

a blanket or a chair!). We recommend arriving at 7:30 PM,

giving you plenty of time to prepare for the film to begin

at dusk. As a reminder, all movie nights are free and

open to the public. If you have questions, please call

our office at 718-931-1721 or email 

District13@council.nyc.gov.
