  Mr. CROWLEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to one of my 
constituents, Tracey A. Lynch, of Bronx, NY. Ms. Lynch is being honored 
for her leadership and service to the community by the Committee for 
Effective Leadership and the New York State Democratic Committee. Born 
and raised in the Throgs Neck/Silver Beach community, Ms. Lynch has 
been an active member of the community for over twenty-five years. She 
is a graduate of St. Helena's Business School, The Wood Secretarial 
School, and attended Pace University as an undergraduate. She has been 
married to Thomas Lynch for 20 years and is the proud mother of three.
  Ms. Lynch has been the President of the Silver Beach Association 
(SBA) for the past 12 years and has coordinated a number of activities 
within the community to bring families together. Some of those events 
have included Irish step dancing classes, sign language classes, chess 
clubs, book clubs, and arts and crafts. Other organizations with which 
Ms. Lynch is involved are Throgs Neck Community Action Partnership, the 
Throgs Neck Homeowners Association, the Schuyler Hill Civic 
Association, and the 45th NYPD Precinct.
  Ms. Lynch has been working for the Department of Education since 2003 
and is a Parent Coordinator for P.S. 14, the Senator John D. Calandra 
High School. In this role she serves as a liaison between the 
Department of Education and parents and guardians and assists parents 
with education, social, medical and community needs. Ms. Lynch also 
organizes and facilitates workshops and meetings in conjunction with 
the principal, teachers, staff and community-based organizations.
  Madam Speaker, I join to wish Ms. Lynch best wishes and good fortune 
in her future projects.
