Carolyn B. Maloney

Her years of community leadership serve as a model for future generations.

Ms. LoPresto's dedication and service to neighborhoods all across Queens deserves our recognition.

I ask that my colleagues rise with me in this tribute to the Pancyprian Association of America Dance Division, a group dedicated to bringing understanding, forming bonds and educating with dance and music.

This evening of celebration will also honor Andreas Christodoulou.

The Pancyprian Dance Group has performed in many multi-cultural events around the United States and abroad.

Through dance we are able to enjoy other cultures and learn their history. Only through understanding can we establish positive linkages with our friends abroad.

It is an honor to have such a creative and artistic ballet company located in my district.
