  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize the Ocean Chapter 
of Drifters, Inc. as its members gather to commemorate its 40th 
anniversary at a luncheon on March 14, 2015. This milestone and its 
commitment to service is truly deserving of this body's recognition.

  Sponsored by the Montclair Chapter, the Ocean Chapter of Drifters, 
Inc. was founded by Marilyn Joyce of Morganville, New Jersey, who was 
also one of the eight charter members. Forty years later, there are 
thirteen members of the Ocean Chapter, including four of the charter 
members, Ms. Joyce, Marjorie Clark, Mary Inge and Yvonne Russell.
  Since its inception, the Ocean Chapter of Drifters, Inc. has provided 
opportunities for women to engage in charitable and civic involvement 
to enrich the lives of others. In this endeavor, its members work 
closely with various agencies, organizations and individuals such as 
Meridian Health, the Special Olympics, Monmouth University and I.C.C.C. 
Monmouth County Head Start. The Ocean Chapter of Drifters, Inc. also 
aims to improve the well-being of seniors and promote opportunities for 
youth, through special programs and scholarships for graduating high 
school seniors.
  Mr. Speaker, once again, please join me in congratulating the Ocean 
Chapter of Drifters, Inc. on its 40th anniversary and thanking its 
members for their dedication to volunteerism and community involvement.
