  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, it is always a pleasure when neighborhood 
groups in my district pick incredibly deserving community members to 
fill important positions of prominence. This year, the planning 
committee of the Eastchester Irish American Social Club (EIASC) has 
outdone themselves with the selection of Stephen and Kathleen Huvane as 
Honorees of the annual Eastchester St. Patrick's Day Parade.
  Like me, Stephen and Kathleen are both Bronx natives, with families 
who immigrated to America searching for a better life. Stephen's 
parents came from the counties Mayo and Galway in Ireland, while 
Kathleen's came from County Kerry.
  A graduate of Manhattan College, Stephen received his B.S. in 
Computer Science and Engineering, while Kathleen earned her B.S. in 
Nursing from the College of Mt. St. Vincent. Today, Kathleen is a 
Registered Pediatric Nurse at the Eastchester Pediatric Medical group, 
and Stephen works at Purdue Pharma LLP.
  Both Stephen and Kathleen are active in the community, especially the 
EIASC, of which they have been members for over 16 years. They are also 
five year members of Swazi Legacy, a not-for-profit that helps 
marginalized and homeless young people in Swaziland.
  Today Stephen and Kathleen live in Eastchester, where together they 
have raised four wonderful children; Kaitlin, Eilish, Stephen, and 
Kieran. They are active members of various school functions and 
fundraisers, in addition to Stephen's work on the EIASC St. Patrick's 
Parade Committee, which he has been a part of for the past 10 years.
  As this year's St. Patrick's Day Parade approaches, I want to 
congratulate Stephen and Kathleen for their selection as Parade 
Honorees, and thank them on the occasion for all they have done to 
better our community.
