Dear Neighbors,

This week, we continued our commitment to supporting our community members by organizing an E-waste event, visiting local schools, sharing dinner with local Veterans, and celebrating a fantastic grand business opening! It is always a joy to engage with our amazing community and ensure we keep providing valuable events that meet the needs of our constituents.

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,

E-Waste Recycling with DSNY

Last Thursday, we held our E-Waste recycling event in partnership with DSNY, Allerton Merchants, and 3x3 Corp!

It was fantastic to see so many community members coming together to responsibly drop off their electronics for recycling. A big thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to the success of this event, and to everyone who collaborated together to make this event happen!

In the District: Visiting The Van Nest Academy for Environmental Health Sciences and Technology

Last Friday, Councilwoman Marmorato visited The Van Nest Academy for Environmental Health Sciences and Technology . This school honors the memory of Lt. Curtis W. Meyran and Firefighter John G. Bellew, both brave firefighters who lost their lives while serving in the Bronx. 👨‍🚒

She had engaging discussions with Principal Gilligan, as well as staff and students, witnessing the amazing productivity taking place at the school.

We are excited to continue to collaborate further for the benefit of our community!

Dinner with the Veteran's Parade Committee and Neighborhood Veterans

Councilwoman Marmorato and her team had the pleasure of attending a delightful dinner with the Veteran's Parade Committee and local veterans.

It was a fantastic evening spent in the company of our community!

A heartfelt thank you to our veterans and their families.

Councilwoman Marmorato is committed to advocating for the respect and recognition that our nation's veterans deserve!

Business Grand Opening: Castle Studio

On Saturday, Councilwoman Marmorato had the pleasure of participating in the ribbon-cutting ceremony at Castle Studio on Williamsbridge Rd!

This new business is a welcome addition to our District 13 community, and is the latest photography studio in the area!

It was wonderful to celebrate this grand opening alongside the Alliance of Yemeni American Businesses (AYAB). We are eager to foster a thriving environment for our businesses to flourish and succeed.
