                        Tuesday, April 12, 1994

  Mrs. MEEK of Florida. Mr. Speaker, the North Miami Foundation for 
Senior Citizens' Services, Inc., will be celebrating 20 years of 
community service on Wednesday, April 20, 1994.
  For two decades, the needs of the elderly in North Dade have been the 
top priority of the committed volunteers of the North Miami Foundation. 
Their caring staff provides, among other services, home delivered 
meals, nutrition education, transportation, and chore service to 
individuals over 60 years of age who are eligible for assistance. Such 
free programs are designed to promote independence among the 
recipients, and they have been enormously successful.
  In 1993, foundation volunteers provided over 85,960 hours of service. 
Special projects include over 5,500 handmade holiday and birthday 
cards, 1,210 holiday food basket meals, and 12 senior citizen homes 
repaired and painted.
  I am sure that my colleagues will join me in thanking the North Miami 
Foundation for the invaluable services they provide. In the hearts of 
those they assist, their efforts are immeasurable.
