Mrs. Apicella has led the lodge during its era of greatest growth and 
success. By building new quarters for the lodge, Mary is largely 
responsible for the esteem in which the lodge is held.
  Mr. Speaker, Mary Apicella is a good citizen indeed. Her dedication 
to the values of family, church, and ethnic pride make her an excellent 
recipient of the award in the tradition of Thomas D'Alesandro, Jr.
