                       HONORING JEANETTE QUINONES

                                 ______


                          HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 3, 1994

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, this weekend, the Williamsbridge NAACP Day 
Care Center is honoring Jeanette Quinones upon her retirement after 23 
years of service to her neighbors. I want to take this opportunity to 
thank her on behalf of the community for her numerous contributions.
  Since the opening of the day care center in 1971, Jeanette Quinones 
has been a fixture at the facility. She progressed from being a 
teacher's aide to become the director of a facility serving more than 
160 families. She has helped nurture young children, provided health 
and social services, developed nutrition programs, and maintained 
fiscal accountability. All this while raising her own two children and 
advancing her education at night.
  It is people like Jeanette Quinones who keep our communities strong 
and allow families to improve their quality of life. As she begins a 
new phase of her life, I wish Jeanette Quinones personal happiness and 
success in the same measure she has supplied them to the Williamsbridge 
NAACP Day Care Center.
