                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 15, 1999

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate the 
Forest City Park Civic Association of Cleveland, Ohio on its 60th 
charter anniversary. The Civic Association marked its anniversary with 
a celebration on August 10, 1999.
  The Civic Association dates back to May 11, 1939 when it was first 
chartered by the state of Ohio as a non-profit, non-political 
organization. It was the first group in southeast Cleveland to set up a 
vigorous Neighborhood Improvement Program which served to catalyze 
similar programs in other communities.
  The Forest City Park Civic Association has also pioneered many other 
activities during its 60 years of existence. They have been involved in 
a Green Up campaign to plant trees and shrubs throughout the community 
along with civic participation in pollution control and abatement. 
Other activities of the Civic Association entail garden tours, picnics 
and street parties for the community.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the members of the Forest 
City Park Civic Association on their anniversary and salute them for 
sixty years of civic service and continuing their dedication to the 
community.
