                                 ______


                            HON. BUD SHUSTER

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, April 5, 1995
  Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
accomplishments of a group which has been a positive influence for 60 
years in Altoona, PA. Since 1935, the Womens Club of Altoona has played 
a significant role in community service throughout Altoona and Blair 
County. This is a club in which members dedicate themselves to the 
betterment of the community by providing scholarship aid to students, 
assisting and giving to charitable organizations, and volunteering many 
hours to programs and events for the young and elderly throughout the 
region. They have provided support and assistance which government 
services cannot afford to sustain or otherwise would not even exist. 
This club provides a sense of guidance, awareness, responsibility, and 
caring toward the community; characteristics vital to keeping our 
cities and towns on the right track, especially in this period of time 
in which we see communities breaking down around the Nation. I want to 
take this opportunity to thank all of the women who have been a part of 
this organization, and say to them that they are an asset to our region 
and I hope that they will continue to play a visible role throughout 
the community. I wish them the best in celebrating their 60 years of 
service in Altoona and Blair County.
