  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I want to bring to the attention of my 
colleagues the community achievements of Eugene J. La Colla. He 
graduated from St. John's University, College of Pharmacy. After 
serving in the military, and upon returning home in 1959, he and his 
brother, Tom, opened La Colla Bros. Pharmacy in Cypress Hills, 
Brooklyn, NY.
  Mr. La Colla is a former member of the board of directors for the 
Highland Park/12 Towns YMCA. He is a past member of the board of 
directors for the Cypress Hills Local Development Corporation and 
secretary of the board of directors for the Cypress Hills/Fulton Street 
Senior Center. For 30 years, he has been a member of the Kiwanis Club 
of Highland Park where he served as both president and treasurer. He is 
a lifetime member of Kiwanis International and its Legion of Honor.
  Eugene and his wife of 35 years, Carol, are the parents of two 
children: Lynn Barnsback of Vienna, VA and Eugene G. of Staten Island, 
NY.
  I am honored to introduce Mr. La Colla to my colleagues, and to 
acknowledge his 35 years of community service.
