                      TRIBUTE TO SHARON A. JOSLYN

                                 ______


                          HON. JOSE E. SERRANO

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 25, 1995

  Mr. SERRANO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Sharon A. 
Joslyn, who was honored, on October 6 at the 1995 St. Benedict The Moor 
Neighborhood Center's Dinner Dance for her great contributions to our 
community.
  Ms. Joslyn is one of the eight individuals who were recognized for 
their remarkable success in helping rehabilitate individuals who had 
been struggling with substance abuse. The rehabilitation program is 
being implemented at St. Benedict The Moor Neighborhood Center.
  As a nurse and a member of the International Grail Women's Movement, 
Ms. Joslyn has worked in community health projects in the United States 
and in Brazil. After her relocation to the South Bronx, she has 
continued working as a nurse at the Dominican Sisters Family Health 
Service on Alexander Avenue. Ms. Joslyn also served as an active member 
of the St. Ann's Development Corp., which branched out from St. Ann's 
Episcopal Church.
  Along with other members of the corporation, Ms. Joslyn had risked 
bodily harm by operating an office and living in a building scheduled 
for demolition, in order to save it and to preserve the office that 
services our community.
  Ms. Joslyn currently works at St. Luke's Catholic Church where she is 
responsible for community programs and is the coordinator of the U.S. 
Grail International Team.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Sharon A. 
Joslyn for her undying sense of commitment to our community, which has 
in turn embraced her efforts and dedication.
