                     Wednesday, September 13, 2000

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 
valuable services to the community which the St. Procop Ladies' Guild 
has provided throughout its 25 year history.
  The organization, founded in September of 1975, prides itself on 
serving the needs of the local community. It has maintained an 
outstanding commitment to the achievement of this task. St. Procop 
Ladies' Guild organizes a wide range of fundraising events with the aim 
of invoking an atmosphere of community spirit and inclusivity. These 
events include monthly card parties, bake sales, craft shows, and 
pancake breakfasts.
  Such events are designed with the aim of providing aid for the less 
fortunate members of our community. The parish organizes a weekly meal 
program for the needy. Their commitment to such noble causes should 
receive due recognition and respect. In addition, the parish organizes 
a variety of social and spiritual events which add immeasurably to the 
vibrancy and vitality of community life.
  A community benefits when its residents reach out to one another, to 
lend a hand during a time of need. The enduring commitment

of the St. Procop Ladies' Guild reflect the finest level of love and 
caring for their community. On behalf of the Greater Cleveland 
Community, I extend my sincere gratitude for their good works.
  My fellow colleagues, I rise today in honor and recognition of the 
St. Procop Ladies' Guild and their valuable contribution to community 
life.
