                     HONORING MRS. CAROL A. GREINER

                                 ______
                                 

                     HON. LOUISE McINTOSH SLAUGHTER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 9, 2003

  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mrs. Carol A. 
Greiner. Carol has

[[Page E912]]

been the Honorary President of the University of Buffalo Women's Club, 
and she has been tirelessly committed to the University and to the 
Buffalo region for years.
  Carol has a long history of service to her community that is to be 
commended. Aside from her involvement in the University of Buffalo 
Women's Club, she has volunteered her time in many capacities that 
include organizing a campaign to raise funds for the establishment of 
the first kidney dialysis center in Seattle and serving as a dedicated 
participant in the Parent Teacher Association for over 17 years.
  Carol is an example for how to balance the demands of family, career, 
and community service. She has strongly supported her husband, now 
President of the University of Buffalo, and helped him with his rise to 
success. She is a model parent, having raised four children--Kevin, 
Terrence, Daniel, and Susan.
  I am sharing Carol's story with this chamber today because she so 
strongly exemplifies model citizenship. Carol and her husband 
selflessly give of themselves to their community. They were surrogate 
parents for a disturbed teenager, who recovered completely from her 
problems after living with the Greiners in their home. Other testaments 
to her civic commitment include membership in Working for Downtown, 
Bethel Head Start Program (where she served on the Board of Directors), 
the League of Women Voters, and Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra (where 
she served on the Women's Committee).
  I am privileged to know Mrs. Carol Greiner, and honored to consider 
her a friend. She is an asset to our community in Buffalo, and she 
stands as a shining example of a life lived in service to others.
