                        Wednesday, March 9, 2022

  Mr. KIM of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Mayor 
Greg Handshy of South Toms River. A former U.S. National Guardsman and 
member of American Legion Post 129, Mayor Handshy continues his 
dedication to public service as he enters his 10th year as an elected 
official, with three of those years serving as Mayor.
  Greg is a retired member of Plumbers and Pipefitters UA Local 9 where 
he worked as a licensed plumber. True to his nature, Greg has always 
been willing to help his neighbors by volunteering to fix a plumbing 
leak or assist in local food bank distributions.
  His impact is felt throughout South Toms River through the many 
social programs he has spearheaded. He is the founder of the South Toms 
River Community Garden which has brought joy to green thumbs and fans 
of garden vegetables alike. He also started the very successful After 
School Homework Club that provides young people in the community both 
academic and recreational opportunities.
  I am so very proud to have leaders such as Mayor Handshy in my 
district and on behalf of all of the constituents of the New Jersey 3rd 
Congressional District, I thank Mayor Handshy for years of selfless 
service to our community.

                          ____________________
