         WOMEN'S ST. CLAIR SHORES CIVIC LEAGUE 60TH ANNIVERSARY

 Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, I rise today to honor the St. 
Clair Shores Civic League, in St. Clair Shores, Michigan on its 60th 
Anniversary. The mission of the League, ``to maintain a high standard 
of civic life . . . by activities designed to stimulate citizen 
participation in government and to promote the cultural growth of the 
city'' is very respectable and has led the organization to be very 
successful.
  The Women's St. Clair Shores Civic League has grown tremendously over 
the course of over six decades. The committee of six women that 
eventually became the League, was formed in 1930 to aid the youth of 
the community and assist in civic improvements. In an effort to better 
handle their increasing tasks, the committee became the Women's St. 
Clair Shores Civic League in 1939. Some the League's projects over the 
years have included consolidating three school districts, building a 
municipal park, and incorporating St. Clair Shores. These achievements, 
few among many, are testament to the devotion and hard work of the 
Women's St. Clair Shores Civic League.
  I am proud to congratulate this special organization on 60 years. The 
Women's St. Clair Shores Civic League will undoubtedly enjoy continued 
success.
