Tulip Festival!

When was the last time you were at the garden?  It is full of the most glorious flowers of all kinds, and begs to be seen.  They are weeping for you to come and pay them a visit, to smell their delightful fragrance and gaze tenderly on their most inspiring array of colors and textures.

 

The bulb flower peak is right here this week, so we might as well have our little celebration of them this weekend.

 

Here is the poster if you want to forward to any of your friends.  If you would like to bring any refreshments for Sunday, please feel free.

 

Thank you and hope to see you there and then!!

Senator Daniel Squadron at the 7th Annual 26th Senate District Community Convention

flyer crop 3Every April, Senator Squadron hosts an annual Community Convention. It’s a chance for the entire district to come together and help set his priorities both in Albany and in our neighborhood for the year to come.

Sunday, April 12 at LES Prep High School on the Lower East Side (145 Stanton, between Norfolk and Suffolk) from 2-5 p.m.

RSVP here or by calling his office at 212-298-5565

From the Senator:

Last year, the community set priorities, and we got results! Here are just a few:

  • After five years fighting to prevent school overcrowding, we finally passed my legislation into law requiring more accurate student population projections and more transparency when planning school construction.
  • Following the closing of Long Island College Hospital, you wanted to ensure that hospitals wouldn’t be jeopardized in other neighborhoods under similar circumstances. That why I worked with my colleagues and community members to introduce the Local Input in Community Healthcare Act, to make sure the community has a voice when a hospital closure is threatened. 

Come and join our community to help set priorities that will focus my work in 2015. It’s urgent that you be part of the push to improve our neighborhoods and our State.
