Meng to hold inaugural celebration to commemorate first 100 days in congress

April 10, 2013
This Sunday, April 14, new U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-Queens) will hold an inaugural celebration to commemorate her first 100 days in Congress.
The event is scheduled to take place at 2 p.m. in the auditorium of Francis Lewis High School, 58-20 Utopia Parkway in Fresh Meadows, Queens.
Constituents are encouraged to attend but must RSVP to Meng’s office at inaugural.meng@mail.house.gov or 718-423-2154.
Expected to attend are constituents, community and civic leaders and other elected officials.
The Francis Lewis High School Choir and others are scheduled to perform, and cadets from the school’s famed U.S. Army Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) are set to be part of the ceremony as well.
“It’s hard to believe that it will soon be 100 days since I took the oath of office,” said Meng. “But since being sworn-in, I’ve hit the ground running, working non-stop for the people I’m privileged to represent. I look forward to talking about all I’ve been doing during my first 100 days when I celebrate this momentous occasion with my constituents, community leaders, guests and colleagues on April 14.”
Meng was sworn-in as a new member of Congress this past January and made history by becoming the first Asian member of Congress from New York. She is also the first female Member of Congress from Queens since former Vice Presidential nominee Geraldine Ferraro.
