In-District Lobbying February 8

1/26/2013

 
Will you join us?

Christina Reidel and I are going to George Latimer's district office in Port Chester on Friday, February 8.  

George Latimer represents Senate District 37 in the New York State Senate (the district that includes Bronxville).  He is also the Chair of the Senate Education Committee.

His staff indicated that he would particularly would like to meet with members from school districts with which he is less familiar: Bedford, Bronxville, Byram Hills, Eastchester, Katonah-Lewisboro, Tuckahoe, and Yonkers.

Some of the important issues we will be discussing are school aid, funding teacher centers, amending the property tax cap law, pension smoothing and supporting SUNY hospitals. 

Let me know if you would like to join us.

Food Drive - February 2!

1/20/2013

 
On Saturday, February 2nd, the BTA will be outside of the A&P in Bronxville collecting food for the Food Bank of Westchester.  This is a great opportunity to spend the day (in the cold) with your brothers and sisters to help others get the food they need.  

We'll be there from 9:00 until 1:00, hopefully greeting everyone on their way to pick up everything they need for their Superbowl parties.  

Please join us!


Send an email to Glenn Stockton or me letting us know what time you are available.  


I'll be there as soon as the district's budget workshop that morning ends.  

Enjoy!

I just scanned this picture to share with my sixth grade class and thought you might enjoy it, too.  That's me in Egypt in April 1995.
