It is with great pleasure that I recognize today two special events that are being celebrated together this week in my district. the 350th anniversary of Throggs Neck and the 40th anniversary of the Throggs Neck Homeowners Association. Since 1642. when John Throckmorton set up a colony of 35 families under a charter from the Dutch Governor. Throggs Neck has been characterized by hard work and community spirit. Through the years. immigrants from many nations have built the American dream here. finding jobs and building modest homes for their families. The Throggs Neck Homeowners Association has continued to keep that community spirit alive. By giving the people of Throggs Neck a place to meet and discuss the future of their neighborhood. the association has helped maintain the quality of life in the community.
