                       TRIBUTE TO ELIZABETH RAUCH

                                 ______


                          HON. JAMES M. TALENT

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 3, 1995
  Mr. TALENT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Mrs. 
Elizabeth Rauch, a resident of St. Charles, MO, who on March 11, 1995, 
was honored by Youth in Need as their 1995 Celebration of Youth 
Honoree.
  Elizabeth Rauch has faithfully served her community, and her 
outstanding leadership abilities have contributed to the continued 
growth and development of her community. She has dedicated her time as 
an active participant in countless community efforts to assist the 
young people of St. Charles. Mrs. Rauch serves as a member of the 
Lindenwood College Board of Directors and as chairwoman of the Academy 
of the Sacred Heart Board of Trustees Endowment Fund. She has also been 
appointed to a 4-year term on the Archdiocesan Development Appeal 
Council.
  Elizabeth Rauch promotes many civic and charitable groups. She 
supports such noble causes as the Academy of the Sacred Heart Mother's 
Club, American Red Cross Junior Program, St. Joseph's Hospital, 
Alliance for Regional Community Health, United Way of St. Charles, 
Meals on Wheels, Salvation Army, and St. Charles Historical Society.
  Elizabeth Rauch is a role model for community service, and in fact 
the St. Charles Chamber of Commerce recognized her dedication and 
leadership by awarding her its Humanitarian Award in 1984. She is 
indeed an inspiration to us all, and is rightfully honored for her 
continued service as Youth in Need's 1995 Celebration of Youth Honoree.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend Elizabeth Rauch on this outstanding 
achievement and wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors.
