It was a joint effort by City Councilwoman Marjorie Velazquez, Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson, Assemblywoman and State Senator Elect Nathalia Fernandez, and the Carpenters Union that brought almost two-hundred turkeys to Bronx House located on Pelham Parkway South to give them out to the local community. 

The Chief of staff to Councilwoman Velazquez stood in for the councilwoman who was at City Hall for the Albanian Independence celebration started by her predecessor former Councilman Mark Gjonaj. Jeffrey Laufer the Director of External Affairs at the Borough President’s office stood in for Bronx Borough President Vanesa Gibson. Current 80th Assemblywoman and State Senator elect for the 34th District Nathalia Fernandez was on hand, along with Joe Reilly the President of the Carpenters Local 45 with his Vice-President Dave Caraballoso to hand out the turkeys.  

Assemblywoman Fernandez and those ‘in the Bronx House’ set up the table full of turkeys to give away to those in the community.
