Dear Neighbors,
This week, we continued our commitment to supporting our community members gathering at Coffee with Kristy, visiting local businesses, helping cats find homes, and enjoying some chess with the 45th Precinct! 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,
Councilwoman Kristy Marmorato
District 13, Bronx
Coffee with Kristy! 
Last Tuesday marked the delightful kickoff of our 2025 Coffee with Kristy series, and what a fantastic event it was!
It was truly great to connect with our constituents, who are the heartbeat of District 13. Your enthusiasm and insights keep us motivated and on our toes, reminding us of the important work we do together.
Despite the chill in the air, your warmth and commitment shone through, making the trek worthwhile for all!
A huge thank you for braving the cold, and I can’t wait to see all your smiling faces again at next month's gathering. Let’s keep the momentum going!
Chess with a Cop! 

The recent "Chess with a Cop" event hosted by the NYPD 45th Precinct stands as a shining example of community engagement and the positive impact of local law enforcement on youth.
Witnessing the children of our district joyfully participating in games alongside our dedicated officers was not only heartwarming but also a great reminder to the vital role that our Community Affairs Units play in fostering relationships within District 13 and across the city.
Such initiatives not only show trust and understanding but also inspire our younger generation to see law enforcement as allies and mentors, paving the way for a safer, more united community.
Small Business Spotlight! 
Last Thursday, we went to City Island, where we had the pleasure of dining at the charming Little Greece Mediterranean Grill.
The experience was amazing, as we savored an array of delicious dishes that showcased the flavors of Mediterranean cuisine, complemented by desserts that left us craving more.
This serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of shopping locally and supporting small businesses in our community. Let's continue to show our love and appreciation for the unique gems in CD13, that enriches our neighborhood with every visit!
FREE Tax Prep Services! 
Friday's with our partners at Urban Up Bound NY and their FREE tax prep.
We will be having this every Friday from 9 AM - 5 PM at our office.

Cat Adoption Event
The recent cat adoption event was nothing short of purr-fect, showcasing the heartwarming spirit of community and compassion!
Our fluffy companions eagerly awaited their new families, and we are thrilled to report that District 13 truly came through with their generous hearts.
A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to stop by, fill out applications, and share a moment of joy with our adorable kitties!
