                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, January 27, 2003

  Ms. BALDWIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jewish Social 
Services of Madison, which was founded 25 years ago, on February 9, 
1978, in Madison, Wisconsin.
  Jewish Social Services of Madison serves more than 800 individuals 
and agencies each year, and for a quarter century has served the entire 
community with its programs for seniors and individuals in need.
  More than 400 people volunteer each year for Jewish Social Services 
of Madison. These volunteers help the organization continue its 
excellent social work, which includes sponsoring the largest weekly 
nutrition site in the country, offering services with specific 
attention to cultural and language sensitivity, and providing 
assistance to refugees and other emigres. The Jewish Social Services of 
Madison has also been a participating agency of United Way of Dane 
County for 25 years.
  This organization has excelled as a professional social work agency 
since 1978, and has truly provided help where help is needed for a 
quarter century. Wisconsin is fortunate to be home to such a dedicated 
organization as Jewish Social Services of Madison.
  I congratulate Jewish Social Services of Madison on 25 years of 
extraordinary achievements, and I wish them good luck in the years to 
come.
