  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, community service is an enduring quality and 
an absolute necessity in today's society. Fortunately, Brooklyn, NY is 
benefiting from the dedicated efforts of Imogene Baldwin Ferguson.
  Mrs. Baldwin Ferguson migrated to Brooklyn in 1962 from Greenville, 
SC where she attended elementary and high school. In 1964 she married 
James Baldwin. She later married Eric Ferguson of Panama, and is the 
mother of nine children and nine grandchildren. Mrs. Baldwin Ferguson 
graduated from Queensborough Community College and Brooklyn College.
  For 11 years she worked for the New York City Housing Authority. For 
the past 3 years she has worked as the youth coordinator for community 
board 17. She is a member of the League of Women Voters and the Haitian 
Family Services Center, and cofounded the Brooklyn Women's Alliance. 
Imogene is also a member of First Baptist Church of Crown Heights.
  The community of Brooklyn has been enriched by the dedicated and 
unselfish efforts of Imogene Baldwin Ferguson. She gives true meaning 
to the notion of selfless service.
