                       Wednesday, October 7, 1998

  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to a remarkable 
individual and good friend, Sunny Yeddis Goldberg.
  There are few people as well named as Sunny. Active in an 
extraordinary number of causes, ranging from education to neighborhood 
beautification, from promotion of the arts to prevention of illness, 
Sunny brings to each challenge her unique blend of bright optimism and 
boundless energy.
  Professionally, Sunny has devoted her life to children, earning 
degrees in education and acquiring an expertise in overcoming learning 
disabilities. As a private therapist and as an expert with the Board of 
Cooperative Services, Sunny has helped countless young people overcome 
obstacles to achieve their potential.
  In Mamaroneck, New York, where Sunny lives, she is regarded as a 
community treasure. Indeed, one of Sunny's passions has been Larchmont-
Mamaroneck Community Television, an exceptionally well-regarded local 
station with a rich array of programming a central place in the life of 
the villages it serves. Sunny has been a Board Member at LMC-TV for 
twelve years, including nine during which she served as President.
  This month, LMC-TV will not only recognize Sunny's exceptional 
contribution, but will name its annual award after her. There can be no 
more deserving recipient of the ``Sunny'' than Sunny herself.
  Mr. Speaker, Sunny Yeddis Goldberg is one of those individuals around 
whom burdens seem lighter and joys even more sweet. We are enriched by 
her work and inspired by her example.
