Dear Friends:

It is a pleasure to send greetings to Gazette readers, and congratulate the Gazette on its 25th anniversary.

As Public Advocate for the City of New York, I value the service the Gazette does for its community. Their practice of dedicated news coverage is deeply woven into the fabric of New York City life, and is a model for all communities.

As a reader of the Gazette for years, I have come to appreciate its community view of the news. As my office works to make New York even better, I am heartened by the knowledge that the Gazette will continue to serve the Queens community for a long time to come.

Best wishes for the past 25 years and for the continuation of your vital work.
With warm regards,
Betsy Gotbaum
