\u201cThis year we\u2019re celebrating community spirit. We\u2019re celebrating culture. We\u2019re celebrating everyone that represents Woodside and residents throughout Queens. But it\u2019s especially meaningful for us as it\u2019s one of our largest milestones. We\u2019re celebrating our 50th anniversary this year,\u201d Jourdain said. \u201cFifty years of long history and being a trusted partner, where the community has trusted us with their young scholars, they\u2019ve trusted us to provide housing services, they\u2019ve trusted us to help make sure that our commercial corridors are thriving, our small businesses are prosperous and they\u2019re flourishing. They trusted us to advocate on their behalf and to be their champion, and as we\u2019re celebrating this huge milestone, it\u2019s momentous for us because we\u2019re moving into the future with 50 more years in sight, and we\u2019re growing, we\u2019re elevating to truly be the organization that is on the move.\u201d<\/p>\n
