                                 ______


                      HON. WILLIAM F. CLINGER, JR.

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 28, 1994

  Mr. CLINGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Bradford 
Regional Medical Center Auxiliary, recipient of the Bradford, PA, 
Exchange Club's 1994 Golden Deeds Award. It is a pleasure to recognize 
the achievements of this auxiliary, now in its 59th year.
  The Bradford Regional Medical Center Auxiliary, numbering 300 members 
who have volunteered 20,000 hours per year, supports numerous 
departments in the hospital including x-ray, emergency, and outpatient 
services. The auxiliary has also been successful in reinstating the 
teen volunteer program, in addition to supporting a dozen other 
volunteer initiatives associated with the medical center.
  One example, in particular, is the auxiliary's fundraising efforts on 
behalf of the annual gift to the Bradford Regional Medical Center. Over 
the past 10 years, the auxiliary has produced an annual donation of 
$50,000. The money raised by the auxiliary has supplemented many 
projects, including the purchases of a CT scanner in diagnostic imaging 
and lifeline units. Hospital renovations have also been made possible 
through their fundraising endeavors.
  Helping students meet their educational goals is yet another function 
of the auxiliary's volunteerism. The auxiliary awards four annual 
scholarships: two $1,500 scholarships granted to second-year nursing 
students and two $250 scholarships granted to second-year Bradford 
Regional Medical Center radiography students.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my distinct honor to recognize the Bradford 
Regional Medical Center Auxiliary as the recipient of the 1994 Golden 
Deeds Award. I offer my sincere congratulations for the diligence with 
which they contribute to the health and well-being of Bradford, PA.
