                      Saturday, September 28, 1996

  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay special tribute to 
two distinguished citizens of New York's 28th District, Olindo and 
Filomena Di Francesco.
  Mr. and Mrs. Di Francesco own a small business in my district, 
Olindo's Food Service. For the past 10 years, they have held an annual 
dinner dance to benefit Camp Good Days and Special Times, Inc., a camp 
for children with cancer. As a result, they have successfully raised 
over $250,000 over the past decade to help send children with cancer to 
camp, to renovate camp buildings, and construct a pool for the camp's 
recreational facility.
  As they prepare once again for their annual benefit, we honor Mr. and 
Mrs. Di Francesco

for their exceptional hard work and generosity, and commend them for 
their extraordinary efforts over the past 10 years on behalf of 
children with cancer and their families.
