                       A TRIBUTE TO SHERYL BOYCE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 3, 2001

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Sheryl Boyce of 
Canarsie, for her many years of leadership in the civic and religious 
communities.
  Ms. Boyce believes that to live in the community it is important to 
serve your community as well. For this reason she has spent nearly two 
decades as an active community resident. She has been an active member 
of the Bay View Tenants Association, serving as the financial 
secretary, recording secretary, and editor of the Association 
Newsletter. In addition, she organized the Association's first clean up 
day. Ms. Boyce has taken a particular interest as a mentor, serving as 
a Girl and Boy Scout Leader and a chaperon on numerous youth outings.
  Sheryl is also an active member of St. Albans' Episcopal Church. She 
is on the Altar Guild and serves as a treasurer of the Episcopal Church 
Women. She has been elected to the Vestry for the third time and serves 
as a mentor to the altar girls and boys.
  Mr. Speaker, Ms. Sheryl Boyce is a woman of deep religious conviction 
who has served her community and her church with the same level of 
dedication. As such, she is more than worthy of receiving our 
recognition today, and I hope that all of my colleagues will join me in 
honoring this truly remarkable woman.
