                ARMSTRONG CABLE SERVICES DESERVES THANKS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. PHIL ENGLISH

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 23, 1996

  Mr. ENGLISH of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, every year, for the past 5 
years, a local company based in the 21st District of Pennsylvania, 
Armstrong Cable, has sponsored the Senior Classic Golf Tournament which 
has raised funds to help the people of the Meadville, PA, area. The 
tournament itself and the auction of autographed gold memorabilia has 
raised over $50,000 for charity. On August 8, the classic will tee off 
again.
  The tournament demonstrates the good that individuals, businesses, 
and our communities can do when they join together to help those less 
fortunate than themselves. This year the tournament, at Oakland Beach 
Golf Course in Conneaut Lake, will benefit Habitat for Humanity, the 
READ Program, CASA--a child's advocate court program, the Meadville 
Public Library, the Martin Luther King, Jr., Scholarship Fund, and 
Meadville Community Theater. Armstrong is also supporting renovation of 
the community's historic Academy Theater.
  I applaud Armstrong Cable Services for continuing the deep community 
involvement of its predecessor, Meadville Master Antenna, and I commend 
all of the individuals who will make this charitable function succeed. 
Joan Kocan, of Armstrong Cable Services, has tirelessly worked to host 
the tournament and to draft many generous corporate sponsors. She and 
the other Armstrong workers deserve our gratitude for volunteering 
during the entire function.
  I hope my colleagues will join me in wishing success to the Armstrong 
Cable Senior Classic.
