                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 28, 2014

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Central 
Jersey Club of the National Association of Negro Business and 
Professional Women's Clubs, Inc. as its members gather to celebrate its 
50th Annual Founders' Day. This milestone is truly deserving of this 
body's recognition.
  The Central Jersey Club of the National Association of Negro Business 
and Professional Women's Clubs, Inc. (NANBPWC) was established in 1964 
by 18 local women in the business community and other professional 
fields. Since that time, the Central Jersey Club has continued to 
advance the mission of the NANBPWC to promote the interests of African 
American business and professional women while striving to improve the 
quality of life for its fellow citizens.
  The 50 members of the Central Jersey Club represent and serve both 
Monmouth and Ocean Counties of New Jersey. They work to improve the 
social conditions of the community through volunteerism and community 
involvement. The Central Jersey Club provides resources to promote 
opportunities for local youth, through academic scholarships, mentoring 
and tutoring. In this endeavor, its members work closely with area 
schools, the Sisters Academy in Asbury Park and the Asbury Park 
location of the Boys and Girls Club of Monmouth County. The Central 
Jersey Club also serves as a member of Meridian Health's Partners in 
Health advisory committee for minority health and diversity issues.
  Mr. Speaker, once again, please join me in congratulating the Central 
Jersey Club of the National Association of Negro Business and 
Professional Women's Club, Inc. on its 50th anniversary. The Central 
Jersey Club has paved a successful path for its members and future 
generations of women in business and continues to provide outstanding 
service to its community.
