Yonkers Councilmember Sabatino   District 3 Newsletter  Hon. Michael Sabatino Majority Leader Councilmember  District 3 City Hall  40 S. Broadway  Room 414  Yonkers, NY 10701  (914) 377-6313     May 10, 2019      Dear Friends,                              This Sunday, May 12th is Mother's Day. I hope all of the mothers and those who will be celebrating with a mother, including their own mother, in-person or in-spirit, will have a day filled with love, laughter, and life! Mothers play an important role in all of our lives in one way or another and honoring those who have taken on that role for others is the least we can do to show all of our appreciate for what they do. Please enjoy and be safe.      Best Wishes      Majority Leader Michael Sabatino                                   Toiletry Drive Sponsored by Council Member Shanae V. Williams & the Y.W.C.A of Yonkers   Council Member Shanae V. Williams has partnered with the Homeless Task Force of Yonkers to host a toiletry drive for Yonkers most in-need residents. The collection will be on June 15, 2019 from 11AM until 1PM at the Y.W.C.A. of Yonkers - 87 South Broadway  Yonkers, NY 10701. Any toiletries that you would like to donate as part of the June 15th collection, should be dropped off with  Deana Robinson, Legislative Aide to Council Member Williams, at Yonkers City Hall (Room 414).

Effective as of this week, alternate side street parking has been reactivated on Upper Warburton Avenue going onto Odell Avenue.      The City of Yonkers Mayor's LGBTQ Advisory Board in conjunction with the Yonkers Downtown Business Improvement District will be hosting its biweekly Pride Mixer at Caffee Classico (887 Midland Avenue, Yonkers, NY) on Thursday, May 16th from 7PM until 9PM.  YPIE College Zone   Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending the ribbon cutting of the new Yonkers Partners in Education (YPIE) College Zone on 92 Main Street. The YPIE College Zone is intended to be a safe and productive space for our Yonkers students to assist with their journey through the college search, preparation, and application processes. The College Zone will feature Coach Rooms, which are reserved for one-on-one coaching sessions between students and YPIE mentors, as well as a fully functioning kitchen, an assembly hall built to accomodate its 300 participants and staff, and six 'learning labs'.  I trust the YPIE College Zone will serve the students & the different communities of Yonkers well as  YPIE has for years.   Hair Cuts & Hairstyles for the Homeless   Sponsored by Councilwoman Shanae V. Williams & The Yonkers Christian Assembly Church, on June 13th from 9AM until 11:30AM, Yonkers Christian Assembly Church will bring out local barbers, hairdressers, and beauticians to give FREE haircuts and style hair for those in Yonkers in need of such.  Councilwoman Williams is still in search of hair & beauty professionals to participate in this event on June 13th.
