  IN RECOGNITION OF AGNES MANGELLI, HONOREE OF THE RICHARD RUTKOWSKI 
                              ASSOCIATION

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT MENENDEZ

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 31, 2001

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize Agnes Gallagher 
Mangelli, who will be honored by the Richard Rutkowski Association for 
her exceptional contributions to the community of Bayonne, New Jersey 
on January 20, 2001.
  In America, the wealth and prosperity of our communities is not based 
solely on economic indicators. In fact, the most important indicator 
for the social well being of our neighborhoods and communities is the 
important contribution of community leaders; and today, I recognize a 
truly great leader.
  Agnes Mangelli was born and raised in Bayonne. She is married to 
Nicholas Mangelli Sr., and is the mother of four children: Mary Beth 
Ward, Anne Marie Tatte, Patricia Mangelli, and Nicholas Mangelli.
  Ms. Mangelli is the chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Bayonne 
Community Mental Health Center, an organization she has served since 
1974. She has also served on the Board of Directors and as vice 
president; fundraising chairman; recording secretary; and corresponding 
secretary. She has been the chairman since 1993.
  In addition, Ms. Mangelli is the co-chair of the United Cerebral 
Palsy of Hudson County, and serves on the Bayonne Hospital Parent Board 
and the Bayonne Hospital Compliance Committee. She served as chairman 
of various committees at St. Peter's Prep Mother's Club. She is also 
past president and member of the Robinson School of PTC, the Vroom 
School Parents Association, and the Holy Family Academy Alumni 
Association.
  Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Agnes Mangelli. 
Through her compassion and dedication, Agnes Mangelli has made great 
contributions to the community of Bayonne. Her leadership and hard work 
are a great asset and an example for us all.
