                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 19, 2014

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Nick Brown and 
Mrs. Tracy Brown for their immeasurable contributions to the community 
and congratulate them on their recognition by Count Basie Theatre at 
its summer gala, ``A Little Help From Our Friends,'' on June 20, 2014. 
Nick and Tracy's philanthropy and professional accomplishments should 
be celebrated.
  Both Nick and Tracy are active members of their community. Tracy 
currently serves as Secretary on the Board of Trustees of the Monmouth 
Medical Center Foundation as well as a member of the Prevention First 
Board of Trustees. She has served as co-chair for numerous galas for 
various organizations, including the Count Basie Theatre. Recently, 
Tracy and Nick co-chaired the 2014 Monmouth Medical Center Crystal 
Ball, which benefited the hospital's programs and services.
  In addition to his professional work as GFI Group Managing Director 
and Head of Financial Product Brokerage for the Americas, Nick also 
dedicates much time to charitable activities. He has been a board 
member of the Center to Prevent Youth Violence, the Brady Campaign to 
Prevent Gun Violence and HELP USA, and currently serves on the Count 
Basie Theatre Foundation Board of Directors.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in leading this body in recognition of 
Nick and Tracy for their tireless efforts and dedication to 
philanthropy. It is with great pleasure that I am able to join with 
Count Basie Theatre in honoring their exceptional work for the 
community.
