                                 ______


                         HON. GARY L. ACKERMAN

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 9, 1995
  Mr. ACKERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with great pride to share 
with my colleagues in the House of Representatives the inspiring story 
of two women, Mimi Galgano and Sally Campbell, who are making a 
difference in the Long Island community. These women have taken a 
hands-on approach to aiding individuals in their neighborhoods and far 
beyond.
  Mimi Galgano, a vibrant and enthusiastic leader, is the vice 
president of the Huntington Breast Cancer Action Coalition, director of 
the Breast Cancer Health Survey Project, a member of the Huntington 
Advisory Recycling Board and the first environmental chairperson of 
Commack.
  Sally Campbell has volunteered her time and efforts to the community 
for the past 15 years. Currently, her volunteer efforts have been aimed 
at the betterment of the Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Museum. In 1982, 
Ms. Campbell recruited the museum's first group of volunteers, which 
reached the current force of 65 in 1994. She has served the museum on 
the board of directors as treasurer and vice president.
  On April 28, 1995, these two remarkable women were honored at a 
special ceremony hosted by the Junior League of Long Island, an 
organization of women committed to promoting volunteerism and to 
improving the community through the effective action and leadership of 
trained volunteers. Its purpose is exclusively educational and 
charitable. Ms. Galgano and Ms. Campbell were nominated by the 
organizations they work with for their significant contributions to 
both their agencies and their communities.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask all my colleagues in the House of Representatives 
to join with me now in saluting Mimi Galgano and Sally Campbell, who 
have exhibited the ultimate commitment by working so diligently for the 
betterment of their communities.
