IS IT FEBRUARY ALREADY?
January 2024 is in the record books, and my office is hard at work planning our 2024 calendar. We have secured dates for our Children's Health and Resource Fair in August and our Senior (65+) Health and Resource Fair in October. This year, I will continue my Children's Softball Camp to give children a safe space, help them enjoy their summer, and learn teamwork. I will also work with community organizations and elected officials to bring events to the 31st Ward. As always, my top priority is providing the best city services to residents and working to improve the 31st Ward. Enjoy our February newsletter.
