Padavan Farewell Party Scheduled

After nearly 40 years representing northeast Queens in the New York State Senate, Frank Padavan will be leaving office at the end of the year.

To celebrate his contributions during his long public career, supporters of the veteran state senator will hold a non-political soiree on Wednesday, Dec. 29 at 7 p.m.

The event will be held at Leonard's of Great Neck, located at 555 Northern Blvd. The cost per person is $65, with dinner and an open bar provided.

According to organizers, a tired and worn-out Santa Claus is expected to join the 19-term senator at the event.
