         COMMENDING THE CONTRIBUTION OF WESTFIELD WORKS WONDERS

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. JAMES H. MALONEY

                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 12, 2001

  Mr. MALONEY of Connecticut. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to bring to 
the attention of the House of Representatives and the American people 
an event that will raise money for schools, hospitals and charities in 
Connecticut. The Westfield Works Wonders charity event took place on 
November 18, 2001 with the goal of raising $400,000.
  This annual event has raised over $1.2 million since its inception 
four years ago. An event of this magnitude is possible through the 
cooperation of the four Westfield Shoppingtowns in Enfield, Meriden, 
Trumbull and Milford. These malls join forces for the event by 
extending their hours of operation and donating their workforce.
  I would like to commend the thousands of workers, volunteers and 
hundreds of non-profit organizations who serve their community through 
this event. This event embodies the spirit of community that will see 
our Nation through this troubling time.
  On behalf of the people of Connecticut's 5th District, I congratulate 
and thank all of the citizens who participate in the Westfield Works 
Wonders event for the wonderful contributions they have made to our 
community and country.
