Councilwoman Maria Cabrera urges use of cooling stations, highlights summer events in Wilmington
Summary
Wilmington City Councilwoman Maria Cabrera urged residents to use city cooling stations during heat waves, check on neighbors and seniors, promoted city pools and upcoming events including a rescheduled jazz festival and a Millie Cannon concert, and provided council contact information.
Wilmington City Councilwoman Maria Cabrera urged residents on Monday to use the city’s cooling stations during hot weather, check on neighbors and especially seniors, and take advantage of municipal pools and summer events. “The city has cooling stations,” she said, advising people to “check on your neighbors, and check on the seniors.”
Cabrera said the city offers multiple cooling and recreation options and listed several summer activities across Wilmington, including Music in the Parks and a Wednesday evening Urban Artist Exchange featuring national and local performers. She also said the jazz festival was moved to the first week in August and highlighted a Millie Cannon concert scheduled at Price Run Park.
To learn about pool openings and hours or for event details, Cabrera directed residents to wilmingtonde.gov. She also provided the city council office phone number, (302) 576-2140, and encouraged callers to reach council members or legislative aides for questions and assistance.
Cabrera asked residents to support the August quarterly “America’s oldest African American celebration” this year, noting the community’s need for support after a recent fire. She closed the announcement by identifying herself and wishing residents a “safe and happy summer.”
No formal motions or votes were recorded during the announcement; it was an informational statement from a council member to the public.
