A MESSAGE FROM ANTHONY SAMA, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ALLIANCE FOR FLUSHING MEADOWS CORONA PARK

Spring is a time for renewal, and so I am pleased to present to you the Alliance for Flushing Meadows Corona Park’s revamped newsletter: The Pavilion!

The relaunch of the newsletter commemorates my first year serving as the Alliance’s Executive Director. This year has been such a rewarding and eye-opening experience for me, as I tried to learn as much as I could about Flushing Meadows, its history, and its community. I thank all of you for your continued interest and support this past year.

It’s an exciting time of year, flowers are blooming, and events and programs returning to our park. It’s the perfect time to visit. Volunteer. Bring a friend. Donate your time, and if you can, some money. All in support of the progress we are making in this magnificent space we all love so much. The place Queens and the surrounding communities that call their backyard.

There is much more to learn and to be done – I can’t wait to see what the rest of this year brings!

I look forward to seeing you in our park: Flushing Meadows Corona Park!

The NYC Fleet Show is Coming to FMCP!

Open to the public, NYC DCAS will host the 34th NYC Fleet Show on Thursday, May 11, 2023, in Flushing Meadows Corona Park at our Unisphere.

The show highlights the City's fleet equipment manufacturers who support Clean Fleet and Vision Zero initiatives, as well as daily operations.

Vendors will offer a wide array of products to improve vehicle safety, including cameras, truck side guards, systems to track and manage fleets, and systems to avoid or mitigate collisions.

The show will also highlight vehicles and equipment with alternative fuels and emissions-reducing technologies, along with the latest in light and heavy-duty vehicles, trucks, horticultural equipment, tools, fleet services, and more.

The NYC Fleet Show is a great opportunity to learn how the City of New York is working hard to address emission impact on our city.
