The event will celebrate a very successful and eventful year for the WRBA, and will highlight the achievements of four honorees. The Man of the Year will be Allan Smith, a historian of Woodhaven who has long been involved in the community, especially with the Woodhaven Cultural and Historical Society. Smith has worked to preserve and raise awareness of the neighborhood’s rich, eventful past. The Woman of the Year will be Margie Schmidt, the owner of Schmidt’s Candy, a Jamaica Avenue fixture that has been delighting Queens residents for almost 90 years. Schmidt’s grandfather founded the store and she has continued her family’s tradition. The Business of the Year will be The Avenue Diner, owned by Paul Vasiliadis. The Avenue Diner has established itself as an anchor establishment on Jamaica Avenue with its full menu of high-quality offerings and its support of Woodhaven’s organizations. This year’s inductee into the Woodhaven Hall of Fame will be Lewis’ of Woodhaven, whose two locations provided countless Woodhaven residents with just about anything they needed.
