                        HON. CAROLYN B. MALONEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 7, 1994

  Mrs. MALONEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Society of San 
Sabino, an Italian-American organization located in the Brooklyn 
portion of my district. This society is well-known in Greenpoint, 
Brooklyn, for its many civic and charitable activities. It serves as an 
inspiration to Italian-American's, indeed to all Americans, as a model 
of community involvement and improvement.
  The Society of San Sabino was founded in 1932 and boasts a membership 
of over 50. It meets on the second Tuesday of every month at its 
headquarters on 206 Withers Street. The society honors the patron saint 
of the town of Sanza in the Province of Salerno, Italy. The feast day 
of San Sabino is March 13 and the society has its parade to honor San 
Sabino in mid-September of every year.
  San Sabino was martyred for his faith in the third or fourth century 
Anno Domino. Two centuries later the pope sent his forces to Sanza to 
protect the town and to make San Sabino its patron Saint. The Society 
of San Sabino is proudly celebrating its 62d anniversary this year.
  The officers of the Society of San Sabino for 1994 include: Max 
Rinaldi, President; Vito Grimaldi, Vice-President; Anthony Giannone, 
Treasurer; Larry Cirullo, Financial Secretary; Enzo Denaroso, 
Corresponding Secretary. The Society of San Sabino is a member of the 
Federation of Italian-American Organizations of Greenpoint/
Williamsburg, whose officers for 1994 include: Gerard DePaola, 
Chairperson; Anthony Pastena, President; Vincenzo Martello, First Vice-
President; Marion Ambrosino, Second Vice-President; Enzo Denaroso, 
Third Vice-President; Rosa Martello, Treasurer; Raffelina Cipriano, 
Secretary.
