Title: NYS Senator Frank Padavan honored for decades of public service
Post by: eb22 on December 31, 2010, 02:28:40 PM

This past Wednesday Night,   I had the privilege of attending the event at Leonard's of Great Neck in which long time Republican NY State Senator Frank Padavan  ( he represented much of Northeast Queens )  was honored for decades of outstanding public service.     Unfortunately,   Frank Padavan,  who was the only remaining Republican from Queens in the NY State Senate,   was defeated in the November 2,  2010 election.     

I put together some videos from the event:

The following are a couple of articles that reflect on Frank Padavan's accomplishments.     As a person with a Special Needs sibling,   I'm greatly appreciative of Frank Padavan's efforts for special needs people and their families:
