                        FAREWELL TO PENNY CAREY

                                 ______


                            HON. HERB KLEIN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 7, 1994

  Mr. KLEIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to join the board of directors 
of the Mental Health Association in Passaic County in honoring Penny 
Carey at the ninth annual fall festival dinner dance as she is bid a 
fond farewell as executive director.
  Penny became the executive director of the Mental Health Association 
soon after joining the staff in 1980. She not only instituted several 
new programs, but also created support groups and increased the range 
of services that the organization provided.
  During her tenure, the Mental Health Association has become admired 
because of all of the good it has done in Passaic County. She has 
encouraged and inspired her staff through her relentless commitment and 
advocacy skills for families needing assistance with the mental health 
system. This hard work has given the Mental Health Association a sound 
network for support.
  I am very grateful to have the opportunity to pay tribute to Penny 
because of her efforts over the past 13 years. I know that she will be 
missed at the Mental Health Association in Passaic County, but she has 
undoubtedly left a mark that will continue her tradition.
