                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT MENENDEZ

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 27, 1999

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Bayonne 
Family YMCA on its Seventh Annual Distinguished Service Awards Cocktail 
Party and this year's honoree Bayonne Police Chief Mr. Frank Pawlowski.
  The Bayonne Family YMCA is a nonprofit organization that has taken 
the lead in addressing the social needs of the community. By providing 
essential services such as afterschool programs, day care, temporary 
housing, and summer day camp, the YMCA has provided assistance to those 
in need or at risk.
  Headed by Mr. Joseph Tagliareni, Chairman of the Child Care Program 
annual fundraiser, and Mr. Alan Russotto, Chairman of the Souvenir Ad 
Journal, the Bayonne Family YMCA will be hosting its seventh annual 
awards dinner on April 23. Each year the YMCA highlights the 
accomplishments of one member of the community for his or her 
dedication and exemplary leadership. This year the YMCA is honoring 
Bayonne Police Chief Mr. Frank Pawlowski.
  A lifelong resident of Bayonne, Chief Pawlowski has committed himself 
to the betterment of the community. After serving his country in the 
United States Army from 1962 to 1964, Chief Pawlowski returned to 
Bayonne where he began his thirty-four year career with the Police 
Department. While rising through the ranks, Chief Pawlowski served as 
Commander of the Detective Bureau, Commander

of the Juvenile Aid Planning and Training Bureau, Administration 
Division Commander, and Patrol Division Commander.
  Chief Pawlowski is a member of the New Jersey Police Chiefs 
Association, the National Police Chiefs Association, the International 
Association of Chiefs of Police, and is currently Vice President of the 
Hudson County Police Chiefs Association. In addition, for his 
remarkable efforts and commendable achievements, Chief Pawlowski has 
received two departmental commendations for outstanding police work and 
two excellent police service awards.
  Both the Bayonne Family YMCA and this year's award dinner honoree 
Chief Pawlowski exemplify leadership and dedication to the Bayonne 
community. For these tremendous contributions to New Jersey and the 
incredible examples set as public servants, I am very happy to honor 
and congratulate the Bayonne Family YMCA and Chief Pawlowski.
