                                 ______


                        HON. CAROLYN B. MALONEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 1, 1995
  Mrs. MALONEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to bring to the attention of 
my colleagues an important event which will take place in my district 
on Saturday, March 4th. On that day, the Kardamylian Society of New 
York will honor noted philanthropist and industrialist George Chimples. 
He will be honored during the society's 60th annual dinner dance that 
will take place at the Grand Prospect Hall in Brooklyn.
  Mr. Speaker, George Chimples is a prominent member and leader of the 
Greek-American community and is closely involved with the affairs of 
the Greek Orthodox Church. He serves as an Archon of the ecunemical 
patriarchate of Constantinople, and for the last 17 years, he has 
chaired the Finance Committee of the Archdiocese of North and South 
America. He also serves as the national vice chairman of the United 
Hellenic American Congress. George is a great friend to the Greek-
American community and his kindness and generosity inspires us all.
  George Chimples has been granted many awards for his tireless efforts 
on a variety of needy causes and has been a major benefactor to the 
establishment of countless churches and educational institutions. I am 
very impressed with George's achievements on the behalf of others. 
George Chimples has truly earned recognition for his distinguished 
philanthropy, and I hope all of my colleagues here will join the 
Kardamylian Society of New York in congratulating him for his 
tremendous accomplishments.
