Videos of the Great QVRC Christmas/Chanukah Party!


On December 12, 2023 we celebrated the joy and excitement of the holiday season with our greatest party ever, having the most fun, festivities, and dancing at our annual Christmas/Chanukah Party at the fabulous Marbella Restaurant! We heard from our special guest speakers, Curtis Sliwa and Rebecca Sugar, writer for the NY Sun. US Marine Corps reservists were in attendance for our Toys for Tots toy drive. One of the highlights of the night was Charlie Vavruska singing Meat Loaf’s “Paradise By The Dashboard Light” while we were dancing like crazy! The grand finale was the heartfelt singing of “God Bless the U.S.A.” We’re the Party that knows how to Party!!!

Thank you to James Doukas for videotaping the speakers!
