                          HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, this weekend in my district, an outstanding 
citizen is being honored as Riverdalian of the Year by the Riverdale 
Community Council. A local businessman and community activist, Patrick 
O'Donnell richly deserves this recognition.
  Mr. O'Donnell has been active in a wide range of community 
activities. His efforts have assisted children in local youth programs, 
neighborhood residents, and charitable organizations. He was a member 
of the North Riverdale Taxpayers Association, a predecessor to the 
Riverdale Community Association. His other affiliations include St. 
Margaret's Church, the Riverdale Irish Society, and the Knights of 
Columbus.
  I am sure Mr. O'Donnell's wife and three children are proud of his 
accomplishments, and the community is grateful for his contributions. 
Mr. Speaker, it is people like Patrick O'Donnell who help maintain 
viable communities. I congratulate him on behalf of my constituents and 
extend my personal best wishes.
