                        IN HONOR OF SUE SHAPIRO

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT MENENDEZ

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 7, 2004

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Sue Shapiro for her 
active role in community organizations and years of dedicated 
leadership. Mrs. Shapiro was honored at the Bayonne Jewish Community 
Center's 52nd annual Sustaining Dinner Gala on October 23, 2004, in 
Bayonne, New Jersey.
  Sue Shapiro's commitment to serving her community has been 
demonstrated by her steadfast involvement in local organizations. In 
the past, she has served as a member and trustee of the Bayonne Board 
of Education and was the second woman to serve as president of the 
Temple Beth Am.
  Her most extensive service has been with the Jewish Community Center. 
As chairperson of the Health and Physical Education Committee for 24 of 
her 29 years of participation, Mrs. Shapiro has overseen a successful 
athletic program for youth and adults of Bayonne. She has also served 
as chair or co-chair of the Open Tennis Tournament, Winter Holiday 
Elementary School Basketball Tournament, Annual Golf Tournament, and 
Annual Sports Awards Program. In addition, she has successfully 
organized three reunions at the Jewish Community Center.
  Throughout her years of involvement with these organizations, Mrs. 
Shapiro has continued to work as a dedicated employee for the Rexall 
Drug Company and Judge Harvey L. Birne.
  Born and raised in Bayonne, Mrs. Shapiro was the wife of the late 
Harold Shapiro and is the proud mother of three sons and three 
grandchildren.
  Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Sue Shapiro for her 
outstanding leadership and dedication to the community of Bayonne, New 
Jersey.
