                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 15, 2008

  Mr. ENGEL. Madam Speaker, for more than five decades Sidney Paul has 
been involved in social work, including 25 years as the Executive 
Director of the Mental Health Association of Rockland County.
  He has devoted his professional life to serving virtually all 
segments of his community including five years as a clinician at 
Rockland Jewish Family Service before his retirement in 2007.
  He has been recognized for his outstanding leadership by a number of 
groups including: the National Association of Social Workers, who named 
him Social Worker of the Year; the New York State Office of Mental 
Health, who gave him its Lifetime Achievement Award; the Mental Health 
Association of Rockland, which awarded him the Joseph R. Bernstein 
Award; and NAMI-FAMILYA, which gave him the Florence Gould Gross Award.
  In 2002 the Mental Health Association of Rockland dedicated the 
Sidney Paul Center. Sid, as all know him, has been married to Cyrille 
for 53 years. They have three children Andrew, Amy and David and six 
grandchildren.
  I join with the Rockland Jewish Family Service in honoring Sidney 
Paul with their Lifetime Achievement Award for the more than half a 
century of good works he has done for his community and the people in 
it.
