                                 ______


                          HON. CARRIE P. MEEK

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, March 24, 1995
  Mrs. MEEK of Florida. Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday, April 26, 1995, the 
North Miami Foundation for Senior Citizens' Services, Inc. will be 
recognizing the volunteers who have provided assistance to the area's 
elderly for 21 years.
  In 1994, these volunteers donated 25,499 hours of chore services; 
43,370 hours of companionship visits; and 60,789 telephone reassurance 
calls. In addition, 9,931 hours of special projects were completed in 
conjunction with local organizations and schools. Truly demonstrative 
of community partnership, these volunteer hours are equivalent to 42 
full-time paid positions.
  As the entire Nation recognizes National Volunteer Week from April 
23-29, I am sure that my colleagues will join me in thanking the North 
Miami Foundation and its volunteers. Theirs is an exemplary crusade 
that is of tremendous value to our community.
