      SCHOOL SETTLEMENT ASSOCIATION HONORED FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE

                                 ______


                        HON. CAROLYN B. MALONEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 20, 1994

  Mrs. MALONEY. Mr. Speaker, on April 29, the School Settlement 
Association, Inc., will hold its annual dinner dance. I would like to 
take this opportunity to bring to the attention of my colleagues the 
tremendous contributions which this exemplary social service agency has 
made, and continues to make, to the Greenpoint/Williamsburg community 
of Brooklyn.
  Founded in 1901, the School Settlement Association, Inc., has 
developed a well-deserved reputation for providing innovative 
programming along with an excellent method of service delivery. During 
its nine decades of service, SSAI has grown into an agency which serves 
over 6,000 individuals daily.
  It would take too long for me to list all of the many services which 
SSAI offers to the community. They range from truancy/dropout/drug 
education prevention programs, teen pregnancy services, career and 
young parent counseling services, to athletic activities, team sports 
tournaments, and evening recreational programs. SSAI also runs highly 
successful latchkey programs for children of working parents, home 
attendant programs for low income elderly and disabled clients, and 
afterschool and summer camp food programs.
  Mr. Speaker, great neighborhoods don't happen overnight. It takes 
hard work and the dedication of many committed individuals. The 
Greenpoint and Williamsburg communities of northern Brooklyn are great 
neighborhoods precisely because of the efforts of groups like the 
School Settlement Association, Inc. That's why I would like my 
colleagues to join with me now in recognizing SSAI's contributions to 
Brooklyn, and wishing them another 100 years of service to the 
community.
