                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 26, 2002

  Ms. SANCHEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Eli Home 
Carino Walk-In Center in Anaheim which opened its doors on July 13 to 
families throughout my district.
  Many families in my district do not have a place to go to get 
support, find information, or just ask questions. The Center will help 
these families, many of whom are dealing with economic crises and other 
stress creating situations.
  The Eli Home is dedicated to providing free, bilingual services to 
Spanish-speaking families. The center offers parenting classes, weekly 
forums, case management, counseling, and child-abuse prevention.
  The City of Anaheim has recognized this organization and has welcomed 
it into the community. I would like to do the same.
  I would like to personally thank The Eli Home Carino Walk-In Center 
staff for their hard work and dedication to the community and for 
creating a positive environment for my district.
