Dear Members of New York's 79th Assembly District,
You are cordially invited to attend Assemblymember Michael Blake's Women's History Month event highlighting the contributions of women who actively work to help realize our vision of the 3 Es: Economic development, Education, and Equality for all. Assemblymember Marcos Crespo, Councilmember Vanessa Gibson, and Senator Gustavo Rivera are also sponsoring the festivities.
Assemblymember Michael Blake will be honoring several distinguished members of our community with citations that recognize their important contributions to empowering women.
Women in our district continue to strive to break through the glass ceiling and pave the way for the next generation of female leaders. Through determination and hard work, women are making history and giving other women a seat at the table. Today, we look up to and applaud the first female District Attorney in the Bronx, first female African American NYC Public Advocate, first Latina Speaker of New York City Council, and the first Latina to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court, all of whom are setting a grand precedence for our girls and young women just beginning their careers. It is important that we celebrate women and promote this strength through a unified voice. This event helps empower women's successes to motivate others to reach their full potential.
The event is scheduled to take place at Harriet Tubman Charter School at 1176 Franklin Avenue, Bronx, NY, 10456 on Saturday, March 26, 2016 and will start promptly at 10:00am. We hope that you are able to join us!
Please send your RSVP HERE by Wednesday, March 23, 2016.
We look forward to celebrating Women's History Month with you on March 26th!
