               TRIBUTE TO MU CHAPTER OF ALPHA DELTA KAPPA

                                 ______


                          HON. SANDER M. LEVIN

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, October 5, 1994

  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I pay tribute today to the Mu Chapter of 
Alpha Delta Kappa in Hazel Park, MI. Alpha Delta Kappa is an 
international professional organization for women educators. The 
success of any international organization is dependent upon its local 
chapters, and Hazel Park's Mu Chapter continues to make a strong, 
substantive contribution. It is important to recognize the efforts of 
this chapter during October, Alpha Delta Kappa month.
  As a parent of four children, I have been consistently aware of the 
positive influence teachers can have on the lives of America's youth. 
When teachers take their good deeds beyond the classroom, our children 
take obvious notice of their civic contributions and, hopefully, follow 
their lead.
  The members of the Mu Chapter of Alpha Delta Kappa work tirelessly to 
contribute both their time and money to better the lives of their 
neighbors. With absolute selflessness, these volunteers work regularly 
with senior citizens groups, the Special Olympics, the Michigan Cancer 
Foundation, local libraries, and the South Oakland Shelter for the 
Homeless. As professional educators, some members offer free tutoring 
to develop the learning skills of our Nation's children. The Mu Chapter 
works with other local educators and school administrators, offering 
training workshops and fostering professional growth.
  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to have the opportunity to honor the women 
educators of the Mu Chapter of Alpha Delta Kappa. They exemplify the 
professionalism and dedication of purpose that has long been associated 
with America's teachers.
