  Mr. ACKERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer my congratulations 
to Charles Gardner on being named the Kings Park Chamber of Commerce 
1993 Man of the Year.
  Born in Kings Park, Charlie is a townie. First elected to the Kings 
Park Central School District Board of Education in 1989, Charlie is its 
current president. As a member of the Board of Education, he has been a 
leader in program development and spearheaded the establishment of the 
summer youth program at Sunken Meadow Park and the Kings Park High 
School Sports Hall of Fame, as well as the Kings Park High School 
alumni games.
  Not only is he an organizer and leader, Charlie also devoted his time 
and energy as a member of the board of directors of St. Joseph's CYO 
since 1986. He has coached the girls' softball team for 8 years. He was 
a boys' baseball coach for the Kings Park Youth Leagues for 3 years.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in saluting Charles 
``Charlie'' Gardner on being named the 1993 Man of the Year for his 
outstanding and selfless dedication and commitment to enriching the 
lives of the youth of the Kings Park community.
