                   JUNIOR LEAGUE OF STAMFORD-NORWALK

 Mr. LIEBERMAN. Mr. President, I rise today to honor the Junior 
League of Stamford-Norwalk, based in Darien, Connecticut, on their 75th 
anniversary.
  For 75 years the Junior League of Stamford-Norwalk has worked to 
promote volunteerism, develop the potential of women, and improve the 
community through the effective action and leadership of trained 
volunteers. Since Junior League of Stamford-Norwalk was founded in 
1923, their members have donated more than 2.5 million volunteer hours 
to meeting the needs of the area towns it serves. In doing so, they 
have touched many lives and served innumerable members of the community 
with their hard work and generous spirit. Their donation of time and 
money has helped organizations such as the Volunteer Center, the 
Women's Crisis Center, Lockwood Mathews Mansion, and the Maritime 
Aquarium at Norwalk to better serve the people of the area. The work of 
the Junior League of Stamford-Norwalk over the past 75 years had made 
it a cornerstone of the community, and the people of Connecticut thank 
them for their service, dedication, and contribution to their 
communities.
