LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION commemorating the 30th Anniversary of the QUEENS
GAZETTE

WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to pay tribute to
those illustrious journalistic entities which have diligently and
consistently, year after year, recorded the history of their communities
and brought local news and news of the larger world to their readers;
and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to commem-
orate the 30th Anniversary of the QUEENS GAZETTE; and
WHEREAS, Located in Long Island City, New York, the QUEENS GAZETTE,
beginning with its first issue, has tried to present news that matters
to its neighbors; it has celebrated the lives of individual members of
the communities it serves and has expanded from the localized neighbor-
hoods of Astoria and Long Island City to cover almost all of Queens
County; and
WHEREAS, Since its inception, the QUEENS GAZETTE has tried to repre-
sent what it believes is the truly great American experience of living
in the borough of Queens; and
WHEREAS, Some of the greatest restaurants, theater companies, musical
organizations, and the most productive and prolific artists and writers
to be found anywhere proudly call the borough of Queens their home; they
all imbue Queens County and the QUEENS GAZETTE, which reports their
doings, with the greatest energy to be found anywhere; and
WHEREAS, The QUEENS GAZETTE is very active covering one end of its
locale to the other; from Astoria and Long Island City to Bayside and
Fresh Meadows, from the shores of Flushing Bay to the scattered islands
and marshes of Gateway National Park off Jamaica, the QUEENS GAZETTE is
proud to be there to cover it all; and
WHEREAS, From Long Island City to Little Neck and everything in
between, the QUEENS GAZETTE shares the news of Queens with its loyal
readers; and
WHEREAS, Our newspapers provide a tremendous service to citizens
across the State of New York by keeping them informed about current
events; the democracy of our State and Nation is strengthened by a
responsible citizenry which is actively engaged in reading and kept
abreast of news affecting their lives; and
WHEREAS, As the QUEENS GAZETTE moves into the future, it carries with
it the legacy of a distinguished journalistic history and an outstanding
record of growth and achievement; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the QUEENS GAZETTE; and be it
further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to the QUEENS GAZETTE.
