| MESSAGE FROM MIKE |
| Dear Neighbor, Every February we celebrate two very important causes – Black History Month and American Heart Month. In celebrating Black History Month, we recognize the many contributions and achievements of African Americans which helped build this nation, while never forgetting their struggles for social justice and equality. During heart month, we seek to raise awareness about cardiovascular health which, if neglected is one of the leading causes of death in our country. That is why I am proud to be co-sponsoring events that highlight these two causes. First, Mayor Mike Spano and I will be offering a day of education and consultation about heart health for the employees of the City of Yonkers. Health is wealth, as they say, and should never be taken for granted! Second, my office, Legislator Chris Johnson, Councilwoman Shanae Williams, and the Yonkers NAACP are proud to host a Black History Month event, celebrating African American Music and its impact on the human experience. The event will take place on Friday March 1st, from 6-8 P.M. at the Yonkers Riverfront Library. All are welcome and encouraged to attend. Flyer is attached below. Never forget that my office is here to serve the hardworking families of Yonkers. Please feel free to reach out to my office with any suggestions or concerns about how we can help to improve the quality of life of those who call Yonkers home. My office can be reached at 914-377-6060. You can also e-mailcouncilpresident@yonkersny.gov. Best wishes, Mike |
