In this newsletter, you will find details about the district events that took place this week, along with information on various upcoming events we have planned.

It is an honor to represent you in the New York City Council and continue fighting to keep our community safe, healthy, and prosperous!

Sincerely,

Keeping District 13 Clean, Thank you ACE!

On January 30th, Councilwoman Marmorato met with the wonderful ACE team that was busy cleaning up along the Throgs Neck Expressway between East Tremont and Lawton Ave.

We are so thankful for the teams efforts in picking up litter that had been improperly disposed off along this road. Neighbors, lets all keep a nice and clean environment for all of us to enjoy!

Thank you again ACE & John Cortese!

In the District: Visiting Colombus High School Campus

Councilwoman Marmorato spent Friday morning visiting Colombus High School campus and got to meet with the principals at this school.

Our office looks forward to continue our collaborations with this group of principals to continue to serve the 2,500 students they teach.

Small Biz Spotlight

The TikTok-famous G&R Deli and Italian Ice Cream Cone, located just across the street from Councilwoman Marmorato’s office, is a go-to spot for a delicious lunch. Councilwoman Marmorato is proud to support and spotlight the incredible small businesses that make District 13 thrive!

Spreading Warmth & Gratitude: District 13’s Community Giving Efforts

Councilwoman Marmorato’s office has been collecting coats throughout this freezing season to ensure families in District 13 stay warm. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we were able to distribute much-needed winter coats to those in need. A huge thank you to everyone who donated and helped make a difference!

Our local Catholic schools went above and beyond by collecting and donating heartfelt cards and treats for our veterans and active-duty service members as part of our Valentines for Vets initiative.

Their kindness and dedication serve as a beautiful reminder of the gratitude we have for those who serve our country.

Supporting Allerton: A Community Conversation

Councilwoman Marmorato attended the Allerton International Merchants Association Inc. meeting to discuss the year ahead and explore ways to continue supporting the Allerton community. Every part of District 13 matters and has unique needs, and the Councilwoman remains committed to listening and advocating for all corners of the district.
