The thought that Assemblyman Gjonaj had of having Bronx Day in Albany became reality in 2013 and once again community got together to celebrate with great pride! The commute and bus ride to and from Albany was well spent and new relationships were formed all around. From here on, everyone is looking forward for the years to come…
