                                 ______


                        HON. CHARLES E. SCHUMER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 21, 1996

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to call attention to a 
distinguished organization, the Park Slope Civic Council, serving the 
community of Park Slope, Brooklyn, for several generations, and 
hopefully many more to come. The tireless work and courageous 
leadership exhibited by the members of the council have helped make 
Park Slope the caring and close-knit community it is today. As a long-
time resident of Park Slope, I have witnessed the positive 
contributions made by this group and feel grateful for their commitment 
to improving the quality of life for my neighbors and their families. I 
wish them continued success and prosperity as they unite in celebration 
of their 100th anniversary.
  It is not too often that a small group of civic-minded leaders join 
hands in furthering the needs and interests of their community. Yet, 
this group is exemplary for making Park Slope a special place to live 
and grow up. For a number of years the residents of Park Slope have 
benefitted from a wide range of civic projects championed by the 
council. I am honored to have such a courageous and innovative 
organization working to unify the people of my neighborhood and 
district. I hope that the Park Slope Civic Council will continue 
serving its community for another 100 years as they are acknowledged 
for their remarkable leadership.
