Councilmember Kristy Marmorato's Weekly Newsletter City Council District 13

Latest News from Councilwoman Marmorato!

Dear Neighbors,

This week, we continued supporting our community through several events and food giveaways!

This past week, we were everywhere supporting our neighbors! We distributed fresh produce and meals to our friends and families at Throggs Neck Houses, Allerton Ave. Senior Center, Friends of Pelham Parkway, Pelham Parkway Residents Association, 2324–44 Boston Rd., and Edgewater Parkway.

We kicked off the weekend by officially welcoming the autumn season with our second annual Fall Festival!

Local election season is here! Early voting began this past Saturday and will continue through Sunday, November 2. Election Day is Tuesday, November 4.

In this week’s newsletter, you’ll find highlights from last week’s district events, along with information about what’s happening in our community and the city, plus details on exciting upcoming events we have planned for you.

*We’re testing some changes to the structure of our newsletter! In the upcoming editions, we’ll be introducing more information and making a few layout adjustments. Please let us know your thoughts on these changes when you see them — we always welcome your feedback!*

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

Sincerely,

Councilwoman Kristy Marmorato
