Gala-tic Success!
The Throggs Neck Bid’s First Annual Gala was an extraordinary success! Approximately 330 guests filled the Villa Barone Manor to celebrate the amazing success of the young organization, which included making the commercial district the cleanest in the borough, bringing new street lights, improving safety, and exceptional beatification, among many other accomplishments. So much more is planned for the future! Thanks to both those who attended and those who supported the evening by purchasing journal ads. (Photo: Executive Director Bob Jaen address the crowd.

The Throggs Neck Bid joined the 45 Police Precinct in presenting a Halloween Festival on Sunday, October 16.

Executive Director Bob Jaen (along with his wife Rita and family members) Board member Donald Engledrum, and Associate Frank Vernuccio worked the event.
