E-Blast: Back in the 164th, Student Teacher Stipends Still Open, & more!

Hello Neighbors, Community Members and Friends, 

After spending the majority of the last three weeks in Harrisburg, it was good to get back home to the 164th legislative District! We had plenty of great events to coincide with the first taste of warm weather this spring season! 

On Tuesday, I joined state Sen. Tim Kearney and state Rep. Lisa Borowski for a tour of the Cobbs Creek Golf Course with the Cobbs Creek Foundation and the Tiger Woods Foundation Learning Lab. 

 

Thank you for subscribing to my informational weekly e-blasts. Read on to learn more about upcoming events! Please be sure to share the information with your neighbors and friends to stay informed and sign up for our weekly E-blast at pahouse.com/Curry/emailsignup

Enon Baptist Church Visit

Saturday I was able to visit Enon Baptist Church in Philadelphia to share my legislative priorities around HB 434 – an Ebony Alert System – with an amazing Call to Action in finding strong solutions for funding missing and exploited children. I was joined by fellow state Rep. Carol Kazeem.

Youth Activity and Resource Fair

On Thursday, Team Curry hosted our Youth Activity and Resource Fair! With sunny skies and warmer weather on the way, we helped so many students find activities, organizations, teams, and more to enjoy throughout the spring and summer! Thanks to all the volunteers who made this possible! 

Property Tax/Rent Rebate Senior Clinic

Team Curry also stopped by Alician Senior Apartments to help residents with their Property Tax/Rent Rebate program applications! 

Healthy Hoops

Yesterday I also read to the Healthy Hoops program at the Lansdowne YMCA in partnership with Keystone Health. I read these beautiful, excited 5-year-olds a book titled The Good Egg.

IFE Housing Shelter Tour

This tour of the IFE housing shelter in the Self Inc system in Philadelphia, along with my fellow state Reps. Darisha Parker and Malcolm Kenyatta, was excellent. Dr Dash gave us an amazing look inside of the daily work her team puts in!
