  Mr. WEINER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to invite my colleagues to pay 
tribute to the members of Young Israel of Avenue K on the occasion of 
its 74th Annual Journal Luncheon.
  The members of Young Israel of Avenue K have long been known for 
their commitment to community service and to enhancing the quality of 
life for all New York City residents.
  This year's luncheon is not only a festive happening, it is a chance 
for all of us to celebrate and pay tribute to a group of individuals 
who have dedicated their lives to helping others. This year's honorees 
truly represent the best of what our community has to offer.
  Each of today's honorees, Drs. Fred and Sheri Grunseid and Shelly and 
Roberta Lang, have continuously surrounded themselves and their 
families in the warmth of Judaism through their involvement with Young 
Israel of Avenue K.
  Drs. Fred and Sheri Grunseid and Shelly and Roberta Lang have each 
accumulated many years of devoted service to Young Israel of Avenue K 
and the entire community. Through their repeated acts of generosity 
toward and on behalf of Young Israel, they have consistently proven 
themselves to be pillars of strength and support for my constituents.
  Each of today's honorees has long been known as innovators and 
beacons of good will to all those with whom they come into contact. 
Through their dedicated efforts, they have each helped to improve my 
constituents' quality of life. In recognition of their many 
accomplishments on behalf of my constitutents, I offer my 
congratulations on their being honored by Young Israel of Avenue K on 
the occasion of its 74th Annual Journal Luncheon.
