                           GLENORA G. ROLAND

 Mr. LEVIN. Mr. President, I rise today to honor Glenora G. 
Roland of Flint, MI, who is celebrating 50 years of community service. 
Ms. Roland moved to Flint with her family in 1936.
  Ms. Roland has always been a leader in the revitalization of the 
Flint community. In 1977, Glenora joined several other committed 
members of the community to found the Flint neighborhood improvement 
and preservation project, and the Flint neighborhood coalition. These 
two organizations have contributed greatly to the rebuilding and 
strengthening of the community. Ms. Roland served as the Flint NIPP's 
first secretary, as well as naming the organization. She has also 
served as the executive director of the Flint neighborhood coalition. 
The coalition's mission is ``to reverse neighborhood decay by teaching 
residents to be self-sufficient.''
  I know my Senate colleagues join me in honoring Glenora G. Roland on 
her 50 years of service to the Flint community and Michigan.
