  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to an outstanding 
community leader, Ms. Juanita E. Fisher, president of the Florentino 
Plaza Tenant Association. Since her tenure as president she has worked 
to improve the quality of life within the Florentino Plaza and 
surrounding community.
  The tenants association under her leadership has been instrumental in 
caretaking and maintenance upgrade. In addition to grounds 
beautification and maintenance, she has created activities and 
developed programs designed to reach all people.
  The myriad of duties she performs include organizing voter 
registration drives and being an active member of the East New York 
Council Presidents. In addition to advocacy work, Ms. Fisher is a 
tireless grandmother and enjoys spending quality time with all of her 
14 grandchildren.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Ms. Fisher on receiving this impressive 
honor, and extend to her my best wishes for continued success in the 
Brooklyn community.
