  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, Hilton Head, SC, is quite a distance from 
Brooklyn, NY. But one former resident of Hilton Head, Viola Greene, 
departed to become a resident of East Flatbush, Brooklyn. The borough 
truly gained an asset with the arrival of Viola 23 years ago.
  Viola graduated from Brooklyn College where she received a degree in 
economics. Subsequently, she was employed by the city of New York, 
where she worked in a variety of capacities, including, neighborhood 
school worker, legislative aide, administrative assistant, and district 
manager of Community Board No. 16. As district manager she is 
responsible for the daily monitoring and coordination of municipal 
services to the residents of Ocean Hill-Brownsville.
  Ms. Greene is a member of Berean Missionary Baptist Church where she 
serves as a member of the board of trustees, and the Women's auxiliary. 
She is also a member of the Brownsville Family Preservation Program 
Advisory Board. Additionally, Ms. Greene is the recipient of several 
awards, most notably the Community Service Award from the Brooklyn 
Branch of the Key Women of America, the Carter G. Woodson Cultural 
Literacy Project, and the Rachel J. Mitchell Scholarship Foundation.
