Assembly Member Carroll To Host First Annual Brooklyn Answer Fair, May 19
WINDSOR TERRACE – Assembly Member Robert Carroll will host the first annual Brooklyn Answer Fair on Sunday, May 19 at P.S. 130, The Parkside School (713 Caton Avenue).
During his three years in office Carroll has regularly hosted community service events along with an individual city or state agency or non-profit organization. He decided to hold a “one-stop shopping” event this spring to “put everyone together in one room” and make it easier for constituents with multiple concerns to meet with various officials, he explained.
A “slew of different service providers” will be at the event, Carroll noted, with many “experts in different areas” available to assist attendees with questions.
Representatives from city and state agencies, non-profit groups, as well as service providers, will be on-hand at the community resource fair to meet with residents. The list of participants includes:
AARP
Brooklyn Lifelong Learning
Brooklyn Public Library
Brooklyn Solar Works
CAMBA

The First Annual Brooklyn Answer Fair will take place at P.S. 130, in the middle of the Assembly Member’s District 44 which covers sections of Borough Park, Ditmas Park, Flatbush, Kensington, Midwood, Park Slope, Victorian Flatbush, and Windsor Terrace.
