                          HONORING JEAN JUSKE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RAHM EMANUEL

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, December 8, 2006

  Mr. EMANUEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the contributions that 
my constituent, Ms. Jean Juske, has made to her community. For more 
than 25 years, she has served as an officer with the Brickyard Seniors 
Club, and for the past few years she has served as that organization's 
President.
  The Brickyard is an important organization for seniors in northwest 
Chicago that provides opportunities for socializing, community 
activism, and education. As President for the past several years, Jean 
Juske made sure that Brickyard members had lively meetings on the first 
and third Monday of the month that featured not only bingo games and 
other activities, but also included guest speakers and visits from 
elected officials.
  Ms. Juske also arranged holiday dinners, special events, and day 
trips to regional points of interest. During her tenure at the 
Brickyard, Ms. Juske developed an expertise in a variety of programs 
and benefits designed for senior citizens, and served as a first point 
of contact for members who needed assistance.
  Ms. Juske has provided a valuable service as a President of the 
Brickyard Seniors Club, and I would like to express my deep 
appreciation to her.
