Dear Neighbor,
Summer is in full swing, and I’m excited to be hosting outreach events, including the ever-popular Mobile Office Hours! This is a fantastic way for me and my office to go to all the corners of the District. As your representative, I am committed and excited to continue working with the community to ensure its needs are addressed.
I am also happy to share that in this week’s ‘Legislative Corner,’ you will find information about legislation I have introduced and sponsored. If you miss our weekly email, you can also find this information on social media. As always, I am committed to advocating for my community with common-sense legislation that addresses its needs.
In this week’s email, you will find information regarding this year’s Rain Barrel Giveaway, NYC’s Summer Meals Program, youth and community resources, upcoming events, and more. I’m also excited to share that NYC Restaurant Week has commenced accepting reservations for this year’s event. If you’re interested in treating yourself to incredible food or supporting one of the hundreds of local restaurants, scroll to ‘Commerce Corner.’
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 wonderful weekend.
Sincerely,
Council Member Marjorie Velázquez
