Greetings From...

Borough President HELEN MARSHALL

Dear Friends:

Once again, the Queens Tribune has provided readers with a comprehensive Guide to Queens.

This annual publication is a unique one that tells you everything you need to know about where your local precinct, library, cultural institution or performing arts center is located, when it is opened and who to call for more information. It also contains information about everything in Queens from our airports to our zoo.

Whether you want to reach out to a local official or find out where to enjoy a Saturday night out – you will find the answer in the Guide. I urge you to read it, keep it handy as a reference and resource and use it when you want to discover more about America’s most diverse borough.

On behalf of all our county’s residents and readers, I thank the Queens Tribune and its staff for putting together this very special edition each year. I know it took a lot of hard work and enterprise, but it was worth it.

Use the Guide and “Discover Queens!”

Borough President
Helen Marshall

Dear Friends:

I’m delighted once again to congratulate the Queens Tribune as it begins another exciting year of informative, comprehensive and provocative coverage of Queens County and publishes its Official Guide to Queens: 2007. The Guide is as rich and diverse as the county that we serve and I – like all of the residents of Queens County – look forward to it each year.

As each year goes by we continue to make significant gains in reducing the level of violence in Queens County and improving the quality of the lives of our residents. The Trib’s fair and thorough coverage has helped to make those gains possible and for that I – and the residents of this county – am grateful.

Again, heartiest congratulations.

Queens District Attorney
Richard Brown
