                         Thursday, June 5, 1997

  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity 
to express my congratulations to the residents of a beautiful 
municipality, the Village of Pinecrest, for its first successful year 
of incorporation. Over a year ago, on March 12, 1996, the Village of 
Pinecrest became the 29th municipality of Dade County.
  As a result of this anniversary, the Village of Pinecrest is 
celebrating many firsts this year, including the first anniversary of 
its first mayor, Mayor Evelyn Greer, and the first meeting of the 
Pinecrest Village Council. The council members include Cindie Blanck, 
Barry Blaxberg, Leslie Bowe, and Robert Hingston. In addition, the 
citizens of the Village of Pinecrest recently inaugurated the Village 
Hall of Pinecrest.
  I was pleased to be a participant in the Founders Day Parade of the 
Village of Pinecrest on March 15 of this year where I witnessed the 
pride of the residents of the village, as well as the unity and 
cooperation that they possess as a community.
  My sincerest and deepest congratulations to the Village of Pinecrest, 
its mayor, village council, and most of all, its residents, for making 
the village a great place for many to call home.
