                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 25, 2002

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the many 
accomplishments of Joanne Carine, who will be recognized Friday, 
January 25, at Ireland's 32d annual dinner dance to be held at the Hi-
Hat Club in Bayonne, NJ.
  A Bayonne native, Joanne Carine has been employed with the Board of 
Education since 1978, and is currently a secretary for the 
Superintendent of Schools.
  She serves on the Executive Board of the St. Dominic Academy Mother's 
Club; the Holy Family Academy Mother's Club; and is a Trustee and 
Secretary for the Simpson Barber Foundation for the Autistic, an 
organization that educates about autism and provides social and 
educational opportunities for children with autism. In addition, she is 
a trustee of the Bayonne Environmental Commission.
  Mrs. Carine was a member of the 1998 Bayonne Municipal Inaugural 
Committee; a member of the Bayonne Youth Soccer Association, Travel 
Parent's Board; and a Corresponding Secretary for the Friends of 
Nicholas Capodice Association, serving as Chairperson for the 
organization's 2000 annual brunch. In 1977, Joanne was selected the 
first recipient of the Miss Bayonne Columbus Award.
  Mrs. Joanne Carine is married to Frank Carine, Jr., and has two 
daughters, Jenna and Jerilyn.
  Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Mrs. Joanne Carine 
for her positive influence and hard work on behalf of New Jersey's 
education system.
