                         Thursday, May 2, 2002

  Mrs. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Lucy 
Nunziato, a woman who has dedicated many years of public service not 
only to the Queens Chamber of Commerce and the business community, but 
also to the greater borough of Queens. After an outstanding career in 
banking, Ms. Nunziato is retiring, much to the regret of her friends 
and colleagues.
  Ms. Nunziato rose to a position of significant responsibility at a 
major savings bank because of her intelligence, hard work and 
versatility. At the Long Island Savings Bank, FSB, she started out 
working as a teller and was so respected for her work that she 
eventually became Vice President, overseeing the community and public 
relations department of a 48-branch network in Queens, Nassau, and 
Suffolk counties. During her tenure at the bank, she also served as 
President of Savings Bank Women of New York.
  Ms. Nunziato has also devoted a great deal of time and effort to 
various professional and civic affiliations, including serving on the 
boards of the American Red Cross, Alliance of Queens Artists, Long 
Island City--YMCA, Flushing Council on the Culture and the Arts, as 
well as the Queens Historical Society. She has also represented the 
interests of Queens business on the Queens District Attorney's Business 
Advisory Council, the Verizon Communications Advisory Council, Con 
Edison's Small Business Advisory Council, and the Committee to Promote 
Public Trust and Confidence in the Legal System.
  Ms. Nunziato has also showed a great deal of commitment towards the 
charities at which she volunteers, including the American Cancer 
Society, the Girl Scout Council of Greater New York, Junior 
Achievement, Project Outreach, Walter Kaner's Children's Foundation, 
the Wheelchair Classics, the Lexington Center and the Variety Boys & 
Girls Club of Queens. She has also served on the finance committee of 
St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church and St. Sebastian's Toman Catholic 
Church.
  The outstanding accomplishments of Ms. Nunziato have earned her 
special recognition from organizations such as Wheelchair Classics, 
American Red Cross, American Cancer Society, the Long Island City--
YMCA, the

Flushing Council on the Culture and the Arts, the Pride of Judea Mental 
Health Center and Queensboro Council For Social Welfare.

join me in honoring Lucy Nunziato.
