                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 10, 1998

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the skill and 
achievements of Joyce Arberman. Her contributions to our community are 
incomparable.
  Ms. Arberman's service to the community spans almost two decades. She 
works closely with the Ladies of the Adult Retardate Center (LARC), a 
program which is nearest to her heart. Currently, she works to organize 
the Center's annual major fund raiser. Over the years, Ms. Arberman's 
efforts has lead to the raising of almost over a million dollars for 
LARC.
  Currently, Ms. Arberman serves as State Committeewoman of the 39th 
Assembly District, a post she was elected to in 1984. She, along with 
Assemblyman Anthony Genovesi, are the leaders of the Thomas Jefferson 
Democratic Club in Brooklyn. Clearly, our district has only benefitted 
from her tireless efforts.
  Ms. Arberman's family remains a source of strength for her. She has a 
son, Jeff, a daughter, Jamee, and is also the grandmother of two 
wonderful grandchildren.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Joyce Arberman for all 
of her achievements, for being a woman who dares to be different, and 
for showing young women everywhere that they can do and accomplish 
anything.
