Welcome
Welcome to the new and improved NSA – Queens website! Please explore the website to see what features it has. More features will be added as we find more time to add to it. Thank you Rob for your hard work in putting together this website and to Muhammad for his work on the old website.
Our website couldn’t be what it has been without the written content. Thank you to Nina who has provided her blogs on a variety of topics. Check out her newest blog by clicking here.
Then of course are the monthly newsletters. John has been the author of our newsletters for over 2 years. His reflections have illustrated and highlighted the inspiring moments of our monthly meetings and various events that our chapter members have been a part. We will miss his insight and words of encouragement in print. So read and enjoy John’s last newsletter (November 2011). Thank you John!
