On Sunday, March 18th we welcome you to join our 143rd Anniversary Lincoln Dinner, the patriotic dinner celebration of America’s oldest Republican Club, and New York City’s most anticipated Republican political event of the year.
We are proud to present a remarkable line-up of headlining speakers and honorees, including the new President of The Heritage Foundation, Kay Coles James, and featuring Roger Stone, the celebrated author and senior campaign advisor to Presidents Nixon, Reagan and Trump. We will also hear from our venerated Congressman Lee Zeldin representing the 1st District of New York, and our nation’s foremost national security expert, Frank Gaffney, Founder of the Center for Security Policy. The Veteran of the Year is Sampson Lester Friedman, a highly decorated World War II hero from Bellerose, NY, whose combat unit assigned to the Pacific Theater of Operations secured victory for the United States of America and the Allied Forces. Our other distinguished honorees are listed on the program flyer.
We are proud to have honored Tariq Rehmat at the Lincoln Dinner 2017. He is President of United Pakistani-American Christian Community and National Diversity Coalition for Trump Adviser. He was the recipient of the Republican Leader of the Year Award for his leadership and selfless service to the Pakistani-American community and Republican Party of the greater Eastern Queens community. He has proved to be a leader who works hard to pay back his gratitude to America, to make America the greatest nation in the history of the world. Joe Concannon, former NYPD Captain and City Council candidate in CD #23 was the presenter of the award. 
Our keynote speaker at the 142nd Anniversary Lincoln Dinner, was John Jay LaValle, Chairman, Suffolk County GOP, Regional Vice Chair NYS GOP and Trump Campaign Spokesman. Chairman LaValle was the recipient of the American Patriot of the Year Award, duly honored for his winning spirit in all his endeavors and above all, putting his country above his political aspirations, as a shining example of the true American patriot. The award was presented by Bob Turner, Chairman of Queens County Republican Party, and former Congressman from Brooklyn-Queens. Chairman Turner won the epic special election against longtime Democrat David Weprin in an overwhelmingly Democratic district, becoming the first Republican to represent the area in over eighty years.
