NYC Taxi and TLC Office Event

It was a pleasure hosting NYC Taxi at our office last Thursday! The event provided an excellent opportunity for the residents of District 13 to ask questions, get assistance, and engage directly with the services that impact their daily lives.

A big thank you to the TLC for collaborating with us and helping to offer valuable support to our community. Your partnership truly makes a difference, and we look forward to more opportunities to work together!

Celebrating NYPD 49th Precinct

Celebrating 40 years of dedicated service by the NYPD 49th Precinct and honoring those who continuously go above and beyond the call of duty was truly an inspiring event.

Councilwoman Marmorato was honored to present proclamations to Lt. Daniel Mallick, recognized as Supervisor of the Year, and Frank Cirigliano, who was named Civilian of the Year. Their commitment and hard work are a testament to the excellence that the 49th Precinct represents.

A heartfelt congratulations to all the Medal Day recipients for their outstanding contributions. Your dedication to our community is deeply appreciated and truly deserving of recognition!

Cloud Cloud SEALED!

Last Friday, Cloud Cloud was sealed by the Sheriffs, marking an important moment of collaboration and community effort.

This is a true example of what community partnership looks like in District 13—working together to make our neighborhoods safer and stronger.

A huge thank you to the NYC Sheriff's Department and Pelham Parkway Friends for their invaluable assistance in making this happen. Your support is greatly appreciated!

Art Show at P.S. 14!

Last Friday, walking into P.S. 14 felt like stepping into the Met itself! The atmosphere was incredible, with so much creativity and talent on display.

This year's art show went above and beyond, not only showcasing stunning works of art but also featuring a live rock band and a very special mascot, which added an extra layer of excitement and fun to the event.

A sincere thank you for the invitation and the wonderful opportunity to experience such beautiful art and community spirit!

Glam, Glitter, and Groove Card Party at P.S. 175

I had the pleasure of stopping by P.S. 175's Glam, Glitter & Groove Card Party at Scavello's on the Island on Friday evening.

Though the visit was brief, the vibrant energy of the community and the strong dedication everyone has towards supporting our students.

It's heartwarming to see such enthusiasm for a great cause.

A big round of applause to the PTA and all those involved for putting together such an amazing event!

St. Patrick's Day

Festivities and Celebrations!

St. Patrick's Day Luncheon

We had an incredible time on Saturday celebrating with our seniors at the Silver Beach St. Paddy's Luncheon! This year we were proud to partner with the Irish Hearts Center to bring books and a touch of Irish Culture to our community. It was a fantastic celebration filled with great food, wonderful company, and plenty of Irish Spirit.

Celebrating Irish Heritage

A fantastic Saturday afternoon was spent at the Celebration of Irish Heritage with Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson at the Wicked Wolf.

As a proud Irish-American, it was an honor to celebrate the contributions of our community, particularly recognizing James "Jimmy" Patrick McSherry – a beloved figure in Throggs Neck and a true pillar of our district.

Events like this serve as a wonderful reminder of the deep roots and rich traditions that make our district such a unique and special place.

NYC DOT Saves the Day!

A tripping hazard at the intersection of Miles and E. Tremont was promptly fixed in under 12 hours after we reached out yesterday afternoon!

This quick turnaround is a great example of agency efficiency—swift, effective, and always keeping the community's safety and well-being at the forefront. We truly appreciate the responsiveness and dedication shown in addressing this issue so swiftly.

Thank you for your commitment to making our community safer!

St. Patrick's Day Mass and Breakfast

What an unforgettable day Sunday was in Throggs Neck!

We had a fantastic time celebrating Irish heritage, walking in the St. Patrick's Day Parade, and witnessing the incredible spirit of unity as District 13 came together for our annual celebration. It was truly heartwarming to see so many familiar faces all enjoying the festivities and honoring our rich traditions.

A huge thank you to the Throggs Neck Benevolent Association for once again hosting such an amazing parade. Your dedication and hard work make this event a true highlight of the year, and we are so grateful for all the effort that goes into making it such a success!

St. Patrick's Day Lunch with

Cardinal Timothy Dolan!

On Monday, St. Patrick's Day, a wonderful lunch was held with His Eminence Cardinal Timothy Dolan at his residence—an event that has become one of the highlights I eagerly look forward to each year. It’s always such an honor to join together with friends, family, and community members in celebration of both our faith and our heritage.

As a proud Catholic and Irish American, this occasion holds special meaning for me. It provides a chance to reflect on the rich traditions that have shaped both my faith and cultural identity, making it a truly memorable and cherished experience every year.

Clean Up Highlight! 🧹

A big thanks and shoutout to DSNY for taking the lead in the cleanup efforts throughout District 13! Their hard work and dedication to keeping our neighborhoods clean are truly appreciated.

ACE then came in to give it that final touch, ensuring that our streets remain spotless and inviting for everyone who calls this community home.

Let’s continue to work together to maintain the beauty of our streets and take pride in our community. Every effort counts, and together we can make District 13 a place we can all be proud of!
