NEW YORK—The Queens Village Republican Club celebrated its 150th year on March 2 at the annual Lincoln Dinner, where patriotic Americans received awards and listened to speeches from speakers like former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani.
The Queens Village Republican Club is the oldest continuous Republican club in the United States of America, and has hosted a Lincoln Dinner every year since 1996. The Lincoln Dinner is a tradition in which Republican organizations put on a fundraiser dinner around the time of President Lincoln’s birthday, Feb. 12. The dinner is sometimes called the Reagan Dinner or Lincoln-Reagan Dinner. Democratic party-aligned organizations host a similar event called the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner.
