Happy May!

May is the month of Mother’s Day. On May 8, we will take the day to celebrate all of the loving hard-working mothers in our lives. As a mother of three myself, I know firsthand the challenges that mothers face every day. I urge everyone to give thanks, love, and dedicate some time to the mothers and grandmothers in your life. Take this chance to remind them how important they are and how much you love them.

Last month, Avalon held the annual Absolutely Avalon celebration. I was proud to have my staff attend this event as well as the ribbon cutting for the new Avalon Arts and Culture Center. The new center is a wonderful addition to not only the Avalon community but also the entire East Orange community. I encourage everyone to visit the center to see the various exhibits, especially those of local students from Timber Creek High School and the various elementary schools in the area.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns or would like assistance with applying for rental/energy assistance , you can email me at district4@ocfl.net or call my office at 407-836-5881. Please follow me on social media to keep track of events I host across District 4, such as the food drives I hold every month.

Blessings,

Commissioner Maribel Gomez Cordero
