Community Update: Commemorations, Upcoming Events, Around the District

Dear Friends, 

As we near the end of July, the Westchester County Health Department has issued a heat advisory through this weekend. It is critical that you avoid strenuous activities, drink plenty of water, and take precautions to prevent heat-related illness. Click here for more safety tips, and click here for a list of cooling centers in Westchester. 

This was a busy week across the district! I had the pleasure of helping to commemorate the 33rd anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act in the Town of Rye. I hosted a Narcan training session in Pound Ridge, and held mobile office hours in Tuckahoe, along with my constituent services staff. I also visited the site of serious flooding in East Yonkers with my legislative colleagues, honored the veterans of the Korean War at a special Yonkers ceremony, attended an infrastructure roundtable hosted by US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand in Mt. Vernon, co-sponsored a blood drive with the American Red Cross in Larchmont; and stopped by several beautiful ethnic festivals, the Italian-American Heritage Festival at the Kensico Dam, and the MPAC Arab-American Heritage Festival in Greenburgh. 

I am pleased to announce that I have been appointed a member of the New York State Bar Association’s Task Force on Combating Antisemitism and Anti-Asian Hate. I look forward to working with my colleagues on the task force to exchange ideas and information and to come up with effective approaches to fighting hate across the spectrum. 

Our office is Moving! Next week, our office will be moving from Port Chester to White Plains at 235 Mamaroneck Avenue in downtown White Plains. I will miss our wonderful neighbors in Port Chester, but I am looking forward to our new office that is easily accessible to all the constituents we represent, from Yonkers to Pound Ridge. We expect to be settled by the end of next week. All are welcome to visit us there! 

As always, if there is anything my office can assist you with, please email me at smayer@nysenate.gov or call (914) 934-5250.

Warm regards,
Shelley B. Mayer
State Senator
37th District
