Community Update: Holiday Celebration Tomorrow, Foundation Aid Report Statement, and In The Community

Senator Shelley B. Mayer

December 3, 2024

Dear Friends, 

I hope everyone is enjoying the start of the holiday season! I was fortunate to spend Thanksgiving with my family – my husband Lee and our children, their spouses, and our 5 grandchildren. I also enjoyed having the opportunity to spend the week of Thanksgiving across Westchester, joining in on the fun celebrations and trying to serve our neighbors. I appreciated the opportunity to volunteer at AFYA in Yonkers, and then again at HOPE Community Services on Thanksgiving Day with my daughter and my 7-year-old grandson. He was a great help! 

This week, the SUNY Rockefeller Institute of Government released their report on School Foundation Aid, which they were directed to conduct by the 2024-2025 Enacted Budget. While I am still reviewing each detail of the report, my initial thoughts on the report are below. 

Lastly, I hope you can join me tomorrow Friday, December 6 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the White Plains Recreation and Parks Community Center for a Holiday Celebration. More details are below.

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
