                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 12, 1998

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
Portuguese Instructive Social Club of Elizabeth as they celebrate their 
76th anniversary.
  The club has demonstrated, time and again, its willingness to assist 
Elizabeth residents. The Club has been a vital supporter of the Amadue 
Correia school which currently has 300 students learning the Portuguese 
language, history, and culture. The club also established and supports 
the Dancas e Cantares Portugal (a Portuguese folk dancing group) which 
performs at various events throughout New Jersey and the New England 
area.
  The Portuguese Instructive Social Club will celebrate its 
accomplishments and anniversary with a dinner-dance at the Portuguese-
American Hall on March 14.
