Council Member Marjorie Velázquez - What's Happening in District 13

Dear Neighbor,

Over this past month, we’ve had the opportunity to celebrate the holidays throughout the community. This weekend, many of you will celebrate Christmas, a day filled with family and gratitude. This is such a joyous time of year, and I’m so glad to have shared so much holiday cheer with you all. I hope that each of you has the opportunity to spend the holidays with your loved ones, which is the best gifts of all.

Over the weekend, many of you will be continuing the celebration of Hanukkah, while others will begin preparing for Kwanzaa early next week. Regardless of what holiday you and your family celebrate, I wish you have a warm holiday filled with love, family, and gratitude. Through the rich diversity of our community, there is much to be grateful for and to embrace.

Beginning today, Friday, December 23rd, my district office will be closed and will reopen on Tuesday, January 3rd. My office will be working remotely during this time, and will continue providing regular updates across our social media channels. If you have any questions or require assistance, please don’t hesitate to call us at (718) 931-1721 or email us at District13@council.nyc.gov.

It has been a pleasure working with you all this year, and I wish you all a joyous and safe holiday season.

Sincerely,

Council Member Marjorie Velázquez
