  Mr. ENGEL. Madam Speaker, Marsha and Gary Forman have deeply involved 
themselves, both personally and through organizations, in helping their 
community and the people in it.
  For 15 years Marsha has served on the Rockland Jewish Family Service 
Board. Further, she is Vice President of Community Development for 
RJFS, Chair of the Outreach Committee, and Co-Chair of the RJFS/ ARC 
Collaborative Project.
  Gary has committed himself to the RJFS, sharing his talents and 
abilities for fundraising and in the creation and design of the Life 
Member Wall. Together they have sponsored the RJFS Sunday Social 
Respite Program for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and the 
Caregiver Support Group for families with children on the Autism 
spectrum.
  Away from RJFS Marsha has been a school nurse at the Reuben Gittleman 
School for fourteen years, while Gary is a partner and Executive Vice 
President of HenschelSteinau. They are parents of Brian and Corrie.
  They both have served on the Board of the Gittleman School with the 
middle school being renamed The Marsha and Gary Forman Middle School. 
Both serve with numerous community organizations.
  I join with Rockland Jewish Family Service in honoring these two 
wonderful people in recognition of all the good works they have 
performed for their community.
