                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 28, 2003

  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate The Family 
Service Agency of Burbank for its 50 years of dedicated service to the 
Burbank community.
  The Family Service Agency of Burbank was established as a non-profit, 
community based organization in 1953 to provide counseling and 
educational services for children and their families. These services 
are extremely pertinent to the health and well being of the community 
as a whole. The agency's exceptional support system is comprised of 
generous individuals, small businesses, corporations, the United Way, 
service clubs, community foundations, and the city of Burbank itself.
  Since its creation, Burbank's leading citizens have faithfully served 
on the agency's board of directors to assure professional services be 
available. All these services are affordable and genuinely attempt to 
meet the needs of the Burbank community. Currently, individual and 
group counseling, specialized youth services, parenting classes, and 
anger management resources for victims of domestic violence and their 
families have been incorporated. The Family Service Agency of Burbank 
has successfully collaborated with the Burbank Unified School District, 
the faith community, and the City of Burbank to deliver life-changing 
services to those in dire need of them. Their determination and 
innumerable achievements have provided the residents of the City of 
Burbank with a valuable resource to address common societal problems.
  I ask all Members of Congress to join me today in congratulating the 
Family Service Agency of Burbank for 50 years of unwavering service to 
the Burbank community.
