                       Tuesday, November 19, 2002

  Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to pay tribute to my good 
friend and one of the most active, passionate and hard-working 
advocates for older Americans I have ever known, Reverend Dr. Alicia 
Broadous-Duncan. This year Reverend Alicia will be 65 years old and the 
Northeast Valley Multipurpose Senior Center will recognize her 
dedicated service as their Director by having a birthday celebration in 
her honor.
  I have known Reverend Alicia for many years and I have watched with 
great admiration the tireless and energetic work that she has given to 
the North Valley Multipurpose Senior Center. Her energy is astounding. 
The depth of her concern for the center and her genuine love for 
humanity has made the center into a warm and welcoming environment. No 
matter how busy, Rev. Alicia's first priority is to provide help and 
guidance to those in need.
  Rev. Alicia has done outstanding work during her years of dedicated 
service to the community. For example, she served on the Chaplaincy 
Services Advisory Board of Holy Cross Hospital and was a member of the 
City of Los Angeles Human Relations Commission.

  Reverend Broadous-Duncan has made significant contributions to 
education and children's causes. Recently, she served on the Board of 
Directors for Calvary Christian School and played an integral part in 
Hathaway Children's Village Outreach Services. She has displayed 
exemplary leadership in Christian service. For example, she was the 
Founder and Executive Minister of Adonai Covenant Ministries and also 
an Associate Minister for Calvary Baptist Church in Pacoima. She is 
extremely devoted to her community.
  Among the greatest achievements in Rev. Alicia's life are her seven 
outstanding children she has raised during her 43-year marriage to 
Lonnie T. Duncan, and among the great pleasures in her life now are her 
17 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren.
  Reverend Alicia Broadous-Duncan has positively affected the lives of 
so many, and I join the Northeast Valley Multipurpose Senior Center in 
wishing her a very happy birthday. It is my distinct pleasure to ask my 
colleagues to join me in saluting Reverend Alicia Broadous-Duncan.
