Join us for an exciting patriotic meeting with the following special guest speakers: 

City Councilwoman Vickie Paladino

We proudly welcome back Councilwoman Vickie Paladino, the fearless voice of common sense, honesty, and law and order representing Northeast Queens. Vickie recently prevailed after the NYC Council’s ethics committee dropped all charges against her stemming from her outspoken views on public policy — a victory for free speech!

Kristina Raevsky

An honors HS sophomore, five-time author, and recipient of the QVRC’s 2023 Young American Patriot of the Year Award, Kristina will speak about her fourth book, Marriage or Espionage: Read Between the Lines. Her historical fiction novel brings to life the brave patriots of the Culper Spy Ring whose courage and sacrifice helped secure America’s victory in the Revolution — a story that remains deeply relevant today as we celebrate America’s 250th birthday.

Nicholas Softy

U.S. Navy Veteran and the State & Local Field Representative of FAIR, the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a non-partisan, public-interest organization of concerned Americans, fighting for immigration policies and laws that serve the nation’s future needs. FAIR stands with ICE and against sanctuary policies, and fights to ensure that our immigration agencies are fully funded with the resources they need to enforce our laws and remove the millions of illegal aliens still in the country. Nicholas will present a “rally the troops” speech on why sanctuary policies are not in the national interest and how to stop them.

Additional speakers to be announced

Coffee and refreshments will be served

Excerpts from “Stars and Stripes Forever: Celebrating America’s 250th Birthday” by Kristina Raevsky. Front page article in the June Queens Village Eagle newsletter and published at QVGOP.org. 

“On December 26th 1776, George Washington led his troops in the forever immortalized Crossing of the Delaware on the way to the vital Battle of Trenton. A strategic move by Washington to bring a patriot victory after a string of defeats to the British, this momentous event was a turning point in the American Revolution. It boosted morale for the troops at a critical time when soldier contracts were about to expire and provided the Continental Army much needed momentum at a time when defeat seemed almost certain…..

…. Just as the Crossing of the Delaware and subsequent victory gave a patriotic morale boost, let America 250 be a reminder today and every day to love our great country. Patriotism lasts more than just a day or a year. When you truly love your country, patriotism lasts a lifetime.”
