Therapeutic Pool, the Sunshine Coach transportation program, the 
Variety Club Camp and Developmental Center, the ``Direct Care for

projects.
  Variety Club volunteers are a special breed, giving of themselves for 
the sake of others and spreading the selfless ideals of charity 
throughout the Delaware Valley. Mr. Speaker, I stand to salute my good 
friend and future President of the Variety Club, Dr. Ronald Pennock,
