  Mrs. KELLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 
Westchester Jewish Community Services' (WJCS) Dedication Celebration. 
This May 17th, 1998, on the 55th year anniversary of the WJCS, the 
organization's members will celebrate the opening of their brand new 
headquarters in North White Plains, New York with a WJCS Dedication 
Celebration at the new headquarters. I am thrilled to offer my 
congratulations for these milestone events.
  WJCS began in 1943 in a three-story walkup in White Plains, New York. 
Undergoing an enormous expansion since its inception in 1943, the WJCS 
is currently operating 29 program sites throughout Westchester. This 
spring, as the center celebrates its 55th anniversary, it will open its 
doors to their own three-story headquarters at 845 North Broadway, 
North White Plains, New York.
  The Westchester Jewish Community Services is a unique and invaluable 
resource to our community, offering a comprehensive, coordinated, 
continuum of quality care for the entire family. Over the past half a 
century it has educated, counseled, guided and supported countless 
numbers of Westchester citizens.
  I am proud to welcome the Westchester Jewish, Community Services' new 
headquarters to North White Plains, and I look forward to working with 
the members WJCS as they continue to offer vital services for the 
people of Westchester.
