 JEWISH WAR VETERANS EAST MEADOW--LEVITTOWN POST NO. 709: ``CLASSMATES 
                      TODAY--NEIGHBORS TOMORROW''

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. CAROLYN McCARTHY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 7, 2003

  Mrs. McCARTHY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise in recognition of four 
students from the Fourth Congressional District of New York. On April 
27, the students will be honored by the Jewish War Veterans East 
Meadow--Levittown Post No. 709 at their annual awards ceremony.
  Jewish War Veterans Post No. 709 has an innovative program, 
Classmates Today--Neighbors Tomorrow. It encourages local high school 
students to become active in community service, and in return, the 
program enriches many generations. Classmates Today--Neighbors Tomorrow 
is just one example of how the Jewish War Veterans have proven their 
dedication to providing a variety of services to our community.
  This year, Post No. 709 has recognized the outstanding community 
service efforts of four students from my community. Ian Dorfman, of 
W.T. Clarke High School, and Stephan Schwartz, of East Meadow High 
School, are two of the four 2003 recipients of the Jean R. Tint 
Memorial Brotherhood award. Brandon Weinberg, of W.T. Clarke High 
School, and Jayme Feldheim, of East Meadow High School, are the two 
2003 recipients of the Mike Pahl Music Award.
  All of these students are most deserving of this honor and 
recognition. Their dedication to our community is clear and consistent. 
I anticipate great contributions to Long Island from each student, 
given the high level of community service each student has conducted 
during their high school years. I know I will hear about their 
achievements in the years to come, but in the meantime, I wish Ian, 
Stephan, Brandon and Jayme good luck in the future.
