Knights of Columbus Fight For Girl’s Life

The Knights of Columbus are holding a fundraising event this Sunday to help a 2 1/2-year-old girl overcome a life-threatening disease.

The young girl, Sophia Tavolacci, suffers from Aplastic Anemia and needs a bone marrow transplant in order to survive. Her mother is expected to be a match for her daughter; however, the woman’s medical insurer refuses to cover the costly procedure.

Therefore, the Knights of Columbus are extending their hand by putting on a magic show between 1pm and 5pm, Nov. 8, in an attempt to raise money. The event is being held at 49-18 Queens Blvd, Woodside.

Donations can also be made to: Sophia Tavolacci, Sophia’s Fund, P.O. Box 770423, Woodside, NY 11377

Twenty people indicted in Queens-based $4.6M vehicle theft ring after three-year probe: DA

Twenty individuals were indicted and variously charged in a wide-ranging scheme to steal cars in Queens, throughout New York City and its suburbs, following a three-year investigation by the Queens District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, and the New York State Police dubbed “Operation Hellcat,” into the criminal enterprise based in Queens.

Some of the vehicles were stolen from owners’ driveways, some with the keys or key fobs inside. The stolen vehicles were often sold through advertisements on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. The defendants are charged in nine separate indictments for a total of 373 counts, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced on Thursday.
