In local Libertarian news, a changing of the guard has occurred. At our humble LPQC convention on March 14, our current slate of officers were reaffirmed, with the major change of Francisco Olvera accepting the position as county Chair, as off and on long time chair John Clifton 
retires from local and state LPNY related officer roles. Olvera will also continue his work as primary online media promotion person for the county committee, while the position of Vice Chair will be vacant for the interim.
Clifton will continue to contribute to the website and some social media promotion activity. He says “I intend to pursue other projects such as a general speaker campaign, to discuss various liberty topics, and explore developing a NY political action committee to help keep the party on the ballot going forward.” He noted to his fellow QL members, “It has been my honor to serve the LP in official local and state roles for decades. I hope Queens is stabilized enough at this point to be left in your capable hands going forward.” The meetings of QL/LPQC/LP Queens will continue at our monthly luncheons at Stamatis Restaurant in Astoria, held on the second Saturday of each month at noon.
