                            HON. JACK QUINN

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 27, 2002

  Mr. QUINN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
welcome the 2002 Region I SNICKERS Championship to the Western New York 
area. The SNICKERS' Region I Championships are the most 
important United States Youth Soccer registered team competition 
conducted by the Region, or by any State Association within each State 
Association each year. As such, this competition requires that each 
State Association and all members of State Associations support the 
Championships as their first priority.
  The 2002 SNICKERS Region I Championships will be held Friday, June 
28th through Tuesday, July 2nd. I would like to extend congratulations 
to all teams, parents, referees and administration who will be 
participating in the 2002 SNICKERS Region I Championships. This most 
prestigious event will be a measure of accomplishment they will always 
cherish and remember.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to commend all of the participants in the 
2002 Region I SNICKERS Championship for their focus on the young 
athletes of America's future. It is the goal of not only preparing the 
athletes for competition but to promote positive contributions towards 
an equally important world of physical fitness--with learning at the 
heart of all of our activities.
