  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to recognize Ms. 
Elaine Figueroa. Ms. Figueroa, is a devoted wife, mother of two, 
humanitarian, and community activist.
  Elaine has dedicated herself to providing desperately needed services 
to the east New York community. She has volunteered her time supporting 
many community projects. Elaine has helped feed the homeless at Saint 
Rita's soup kitchen, and actively participates in parent-supported 
programs at I.S. 302, and the Police Athletic League [PAL]. Elaine is 
also responsible for introducing a new school program called Victim 
Service. Ms. Figueroa serves as a member of the New Democratic Club and 
her block association committee.
  She truly symbolizes her quote, ``my goal is to be there for my 
family and the community.'' It is my pleasure to salute Elaine on her 
tremendous efforts to help members of her community.
