                          HON. SANDER M. LEVIN

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Sunday, August 21, 1994

  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I wish to extend my congratulations to the 
Italian Cultural & Community Center in celebration of their tenth 
anniversary of service to Michigan's Italian-American community.
  Since its establishment by the Italian American Cultural Society, the 
center has sought to enrich not only the lives of Italian-Americans, 
but the entire community by preserving and sharing the traditions and 
values of Italian culture through social, educational, and religious 
programs and services.
  The center is a non-profit organization led by individuals and 
organizations that freely devote their time, knowledge, and expertise 
to the center's endeavors. Social services and care for families, the 
elderly, and the young, have been a cornerstone of the center's work. 
Cultural series on religion, language development, art exhibits, and 
Italian music, contribute greatly to the ethnic diversity of our 
community.
  Among the Italian Cultural and Community Center's other contributions 
is the Italian American newspaper. The paper plays a prominent role in 
informing, entertaining, and promoting news of the Italian-American 
community and the center's activities.
  Undoubtedly the center does an outstanding job preserving and 
celebrating Italian culture and life. As the center celebrates its 
tenth year of dedication to Italian-American people and my community, I 
commend the individuals and organizations behind the Italian Cultural 
and Community Center for enriching the lives of all of our citizens.
