               TRIBUTE TO DOMINIC AND FRED SEVERINI, JR.

                                 ______


                          HON. DAVID E. BONIOR

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 28, 1994

  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, this evening, the southeast Michigan chapter 
of the March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation will be hosting the 11th 
annual Alexander Macomb Citizen of the Year award dinner. The award, 
instituted in 1984, is named after my home county's namesake, Gen. 
Alexander Macomb, a hero of the War of 1812.
  This year, the March of Dimes has chosen Dominic and Fred Severini, 
Jr., to be recipients of the second annual Family of the Year Award. 
Committed to improving the health of America's babies, the March of 
Dimes in southeast Michigan is paying tribute to the Severinis for 
their service and leadership in the community. The family is perhaps 
best known for the Fern Hill Country Club which offers golfing, 
racquetball, bowling, and excellent banquet facilities.
  The sons of immigrant Italian parents, the Severinis have discovered 
the American dream while never forgetting the needs of the less 
fortunate. Their success has enabled them to bless the March of Dimes 
and many other community organizations with their skills and talents.
  Through advocacy, education, and community service, the March of 
Dimes has established itself as an organization with an impeccable 
reputation. And, the southeast Michigan chapter rightly recognizes the 
Severinis for their commitment to our community. Receiving recognition 
from the March of Dimes is an exceptional honor and I urge my 
colleagues to join me in saluting Dominic and Fred Severini, as 
recipients of the Alexander Macomb Family of the Year Award.
