Dear Readers:

This week we celebrate the 32nd Anniversary of the Queens Tribune.

This latest anniversary marks another milestone in the history of the Tribune, which is aging with grace and appeal. Each week, it continues to inform us all about the stories and happenings in Queens, the City and the nation’s most diverse borough.

A dedicated staff equipped with institutional knowledge and know-how has helped to make the Tribune a “must read” for thousands of loyal fans each and every week.

My hope is that the Tribune’s 33rd year will be a great success and filled with the talented writing and professionalism that has earned it a permanent place in the history of our great country.

Helen Marshall
Queens Borough President

The Trib continues to be required reading for all who live and work in Queens County - especially those of us in public service. You help us to stay informed and on top of that which happens each week in our County, and you do it fairly and professionally.

Keep up the good work!

Gifford Miller

To All My Friends
at the
Queens Tribune:

Thank you for letting me be part of this wonderful celebration of 32 years of accomplishment, growth, and service to the people of Queens.

Queens proudly boasts of having some of “the most culturally diverse zip codes in the nation.”  Thanks to immigrants newly arrived and already settled, its neighborhoods burst with the beauty and flavors of the various foods, cultures, and languages that make the borough unique.

As it continues to welcome newcomers, Queens faces the challenge of growing infrastructure and services as quickly as the population.  Schools must be there to educate children, and families must be able to find affordable housing.

I know that the Tribune will continue to be there to record all the challenges and achievements.  It is my hope and expectation that Queens’ flagship paper continues to thrive and grow, along with the borough it serves.

Your achievements have helped to bridge all of the communities of Queens, and I commend you for your commitment to the highest standards of journalism.

I wish you continued success and I look forward to working with you in making our City a better and stronger place for all New Yorkers.

To the Queens Tribune Family:

Congratulations on 32 successful years of bringing local news to the residents of Queens. It is to your credit that we have all been made aware of the issues that affect the people who live, work and travel through this great borough.

You have brought us news on everything from asbestos hazards and schools to zoning changes.  I also enjoy reading the Tribune for politics, policy and human interest stories.  And, with the changing demographics, you have covered the diversity of Queens, painting a beautiful mosaic of the people and addressing the problems that relate to the various communities.

Mike, your Not4Publication column has captivated us all.  We look forward to it each week.

I wish you another great 32 years!

To the Queens Tribune:

I would like to send special congratulations on the 32nd anniversary of the Queens Tribune. I also send my best regards to the dedicated staff of individuals who work hard to put together this fine publication, which is a leading source of news and information for the people of Queens.

New York is fortunate to be home to a large, vibrant multicultural community.  Nowhere is the diversity of our population more visible than in communities in and around New York City, such as the Borough of Queens.

The active lifestyle in Queens invites people of all cultures to visit and continues to attract new residents each year. The Queens Tribune plays an integral role in keeping your community informed and involved in events happening there and throughout the greater Metropolitan Region.

Queens finds its strength in its people, and the Queens Tribune
helps cultivate the unparalleled sense of community spirit and pride, which have been the key to your enduring success.  In the past 32 years, your newspaper has become a staple in Queens households and for its readers who look forward to comprehensive news reports, editorials, sports highlights, along with arts and entertainment . . .

Best wishes on your 32nd anniversary and for many more years of success as a foundation of cultural and community life.

George Pataki
New York State Governor


H. Carl McCall

To The Queens Tribune:

Congratulations on your 32nd anniversary. Your newspaper has long been an integral part of Queens, bringing local news and information to the community on a weekly basis.

The theme of this special anniversary issue, “We Are The World,” is so very fitting for such a diverse borough. There are some 138 languages spoken by residents of Queens, one of the most ethnically diverse counties in the United States.

This diversity enriches the fabric of our City, State and Country.  It plays an important role in helping us understand different cultures and affords our children the opportunity to learn at an early age about people and ideas from around the world.

In addition to my congratulations and wishes for continued success, please also accept my thanks for your dedicated service to the Queens community.

H. Carl McCall
New York State Comptroller
