  Mrs. WATSON COLEMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
Trenton Branch of Girl Friends Incorporated on their 60th Year of 
serving the Capital City.
  Girl Friends Incorporated is one of the oldest social organizations 
of African American women in the United States.
  For nearly 100 years, the Girl Friends have exemplified Dignity, 
Service, Graciousness and Conviviality, performing civic services in 48 
locations throughout the country.
  Through their charitable giving, Girl Friends Inc. has supported the 
United Negro College Fund, the Children's Defense Fund, the Flint Water 
Crisis, and student scholarships.
  I thank Girl Friends for serving the people of the Greater Trenton 
area with dignity and selflessness for over 60 years.
