Dear Seniors, Community, Faith-Based, and Nonprofit Leaders, 

I hope this email finds you well and I would like to invite you and your family to take part in our office’s upcoming “Protecting Our Seniors: Services Expo”. This will be an in-person event which will focus on providing a 360 array of senior-driven services/resources for the 9th Congressional District. Protecting Our Seniors will do just that by providing relevant information, resources, contacts, and strategies for the seniors within our community.

Together, we will reach and assist our seniors within the district. Please complete our online RSVP Survey indicating the number of seniors expected to attend, and the mode of transportation to the event.

Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke
