Councilmember Kristy Marmorato's Weekly Newsletter

Councilwoman Kristy Marmorato

Dear Neighbors,

We hope everyone is having a great start to the new school year! This week, we continued our commitment to supporting our community in many ways. We celebrated back-to-school with PS 108 and distributed fresh produce to local families. We wrapped up our summer concert series with the Glass Houses band performing Billy Joel classics, welcomed the new Playa Bowls in Morris Park, and sponsored the Allerton International Food Festival.

We also hosted the street co-naming of Betty Lou Schref Murphy, celebrated the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War, and remembered and honored all those we lost on September 11th. Finally, the Councilwoman had the privilege of swearing in the board of the Uniformed Fire Officers Association.

In this week's 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

Uniformed Fire Officers Association

September 10, 2025

Last week I had the privilege of swearing in the board of the Uniformed Fire Officers Association.

Coming from a New York City Fire Department family, I know first hand the needs, challenges & responsibilities that come with the job.

I vow to always fight for you, with you, and for your protection.

September 11, 2025

On September 11th, we remember and honor all those we lost. We will never forget the first responders, families and countless New Yorkers who showed unimaginable courage in the face of tragedy.

I had the privilege to spend the morning with some of our very own D13 first responders.

We appreciate and do not forget your dedication

Back to School Bash September 11, 2025

Back to school bash at PS 108 was a hit! I'm always happy to partner with our local schools and provide resources, like fresh produce to our local students and their families.
