Vallone Hosts Korean Independence Day Celebration at City Hall

I was honored on Thursday evening to host with Speaker Johnson a Korean Independence Day Celebration at City Hall, where a packed house was treated to food and musical performances.

During the celebration, I was proud to present the Korean American Association of Greater New York (KAAGNY) and its President Charles Yoon with a New York City Council Proclamation. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to bettering our community!
