   IN HONOR OF GINGER KEMP: FOR YEARS OF DISTINGUISHED AND DEDICATED 
                    SERVICE TO THE BAYONNE COMMUNITY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT MENENDEZ

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 27, 1996

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Ginger 
Boele Kemp, an outstanding individual and community leader who has 
distinguished herself through years of outstanding service to the 
Bayonne community. For years, she has displayed hard work, dedication, 
and community spirit. Her enormous contributions and devotion to 
multiple civic causes and local business projects have earned her the 
admiration of the Bayonne community. For her years of service, a 
celebration will be held in her honor on September 28, 1996.
  Throughout her tenure in Bayonne, Ginger Kemp has demonstrated an 
ability to bring about positive change in her community. Her 
participation in the affairs of the community has fostered a heightened 
awareness and appreciation, especially among local businesses and 
organizations, toward individuals who devote their time to issues which 
affect the community in a positive way. Ginger Kemp's diligence has set 
a standard for all within the Bayonne community to emulate, and I 
commend her for all she has done to help the residents of her 
community.
  Ginger Kemp's numerous accomplishments and contributions throughout 
the years are truly appreciated, and I hope that she continues to serve 
as a positive role model for many more years to come. Ginger Kemp is 
truly deserving of this recognition. Her recent memberships include: 
the City Improvement Committee, the Bayonne Economics Development 
Corporation, the Bayonne Chamber of Commerce, the Bayonne 2000: 
Steering Committee, the Bayonne Community Mental Health Committee, the 
Concerned Citizens of Bayonne 25th Anniversary Committee, and the YWCA 
of Hudson County. In the past, she had served as president of the 
Bayonne Rotary Club, and is the chairperson of the Bayonne Home Town 
Fair.
  It is an honor to have such a hardworking individual living and 
contributing to my congressional district. I ask my colleagues to join 
me in honoring this outstanding leader of the Bayonne community and 
recognize the important role she has played throughout the years. Her 
actions exemplify the rule meaning of community service.
