                   A TRIBUTE TO CORRINE WILLIAMS DUNN

                          HON. CARRIE P. MEEK

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 6, 1995
  Mrs. MEEK of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to bring to the 
attention of my colleagues one of my constituents who exemplifies what 
it means to be a concerned community leader and activist--Corrine 
Williams Dunn.
  Mr. Speaker, great neighborhoods don't just happen. They are created 
through the vision and hard work of hundreds and thousands of community 
members joining together in common cause.
  Bunche Park, Opa-Locka, and Carol City in North Dade are just such 
neighborhoods and Corrine Dunn is one of the major reasons why. She is 
one of the most dedicated, most caring members of the community who has 
helped to make life better for generations of North Dade residents 
through her extensive community involvement.
  Mrs. Dunn has been a major mover in helping to bring much needed 
county services to North Dade neighborhoods through her pioneering work 
with Bunche Park Elementary, North Dade High School, and the North Dade 
Improvement Association. Mrs. Dunn helped to create a community credit 
union for local residents.
  Her remarkable record of community involvement over the years has 
included positions on many community boards and important commissions. 
She has served on the boards of Community Coordinated Child Care; EOPI, 
Inc.; the Community Action Agency; Legal Services of Dade County; 
Health Systems Agency of South Florida, Inc.; and the North Dade Health 
Center. In 1977, in recognition of her dedicated and untiring efforts 
on behalf of others, Corrine Williams Dunn was recognized by her 
neighbors in North Dade as Citizen of the Year.
  Mrs. Dunn has now focused her attention on issues and activities 
involving senior citizens. She volunteered her time as a health aide to 
senior citizens and serves as chairperson of the Dade County National 
Parent Federation for Day Care and Child Development, Inc.
  A member of Crooms Temple Church of God in Christ, Mrs. Dunn is also 
an ardent church worker who has served for 20 years as church secretary 
and has been active in the Young Women's Christian Council, Mother's 
Board, and the Missionary Board.
  Mr. Speaker, I know that my colleagues join with me in saluting Mrs. 
Corrine Williams Dunn, a dedicated wife, mother, church leader, and 
community activist, for her more than 40 years of untiring efforts on 
behalf of her community.
