Dear Queens Gazette Readers,

Over the past twenty five years the entire Queens community has undergone many changes. We have overcome great obstacles, faced tremendous tragedies and shared together in spectacular triumphs. For the past quarter of a century, the Queens Gazette has been there every step of the way to document the events that shaped our lives.

Through hard work and unwavering dedication, the Queens Gazette has grown into one of Queens' premier weekly newspapers. Whether covering citywide issues affecting our borough or chronicling the events that help bring all reaches of the Queens community together, the Queens Gazette has been there to illustrate what makes each neighborhood thrive.

Congratulations to the entire Queens Gazette family, on your silver anniversary of journalistic service. All my best to continual success in the future and to another twenty-five years of news coverage for Queens.
Sincerely,
Senator Frank Padavan
