Bronx (& Beyond) Events Announced by Speaker Melissa-Mark-Viverito

Our NYC Speaker and our Bronx member of the NYC Council Member from the 8th Councilmanic District Melissa Mark-Viverito has announced several events which will be exciting, fun and very indicative of the participatory government she is a part of.
