                   TRIBUTE TO STEPHEN AND IRIS GAINES

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRAD SHERMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 17, 1997

  Mr. SHERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Stephen and Iris 
Gaines for their contributions to the Chabad of the Conejo Adult 
Education Program. In the spirit of Jewish unity, the Chabad of the 
Conejo recognizes the Gaines family for their time and dedication.
  Stephen and Irish were inspired by their children to not only join an 
adult education program but promote adult education throughout our 
community. After sending Brandon and Ryan to Chabad, the Gaines' 
realized that Chabad would also be useful in their own lives.

  The Gaines were so inspired by their own personal growth, and desired 
to contribute more to Chabad, they helped to establish the Gaines 
Family Adult Educational Institute. This institute in conjunction with 
Chabad's goals truly builds bridges toward Jewish unity. The institute 
has served thousands of people providing quality Jewish education, 
particularly helping those in spiritual need. Without the Gaines' help 
many members of our community would go unfulfilled.
  The Gaines extraordinary vision for the future has made them a grand 
success in their philanthropic world. They leave a legacy for their 
children and other members of our community to follow.
  It is an honor to join the family and friends of Stephen and Iris in 
recognizing them for their great work in our community.
