District 10 Update: September 4, 2025

As summer winds down, I hope you had the chance to enjoy time with family, friends, and neighbors, and perhaps even participate in some of the many wonderful events across District 10. We recognized our veterans with a moving ceremony at Rye Playland, came together for end-of-season community barbecues in New Rochelle and Tuckahoe, and enjoyed the final summer concerts in Eastchester and New Rochelle.    I'm proud of the diversity and spirit we share here in District 10. With children now back in school, vacations wrapping up, and Board committees already back at work, we're turning our attention to the important task of preparing for the upcoming budget season. ​​​​​Please check out my weekly update below, which includes information on the following: District 10 Events Welcome Back to School Playland Park Extends Season Household Recycling Days Weekend Fun in Westchester Parks Thank you for taking the time to read my newsletter!
