                  RIESTERER'S BAKERY 70TH ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. CAROLYN McCARTHY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 26, 2000

  Mrs. McCARTHY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Riesterer's Bake Shoppe & Cafe on their 70th Anniversary for their 
commitment and contributions to the Long Island community.
  The Riesterer family embodies the spirit of small business with their 
dedication to service and values. Their 70th Anniversary is a landmark 
achievement for this family-owned and operated establishment that has 
become an integral part of life in West Hempstead.
  A celebration of the anniversary is planned for Friday, October 27, 
2000. The Riesterer family will display a giant seven-foot, seven-tier 
picturesque Birthday cake commemorating each decade with a tier full of 
pictures of the Riesterer's legacy.
  I would especially like to recognize Karl Riesterer, Sr., the father 
of the family, who has recently been installed to the position of 
President of the Bakers Association of America. Comprised of over three 
thousand members, the Bakers Association of America is the largest 
baking organization in the country. I salute Karl's dedication that has 
allowed him to reach the top of his profession.
  The Riesterer family is a pillar of the Long Island small business 
community and the community as a whole. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to 
recognize Riesterer's Bake Shoppe & Cafe on their 70th Anniversary.
