            TRIBUTE TO THE VOLUNTEERS OF TABERNACLE TOWNSHIP

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JIM SAXTON

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 21, 1997

  Mr. SAXTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the residents 
of Tabernacle Township, NJ at the time of their second annual 
Tabernacle Volunteer Appreciation Dinner.
  It would be difficult to name, in the context of this extension of 
remarks, all those worthwhile organizations whose members are being 
honored. That one community supports such a myriad of organizations, 
which run the gamut from religious, civic, athletic, public safety, 
educational, community support, and political groups, is testament to 
its citizens.
  On February 2, 1997, special recognition will be given to the 
Tabernacle Township PTA, Inc. at the time of its 75th anniversary. This 
association of parents and educators has been active in local schools 
since 1921. Through its provision of books, school equipment, 
scholarships, family activities, after-school child care, and summer 
recreation programs, this organization has proven its worth for three-
quarters of a century--quite an achievement.
  I extend my congratulations to the PTA's members, past and present, 
as well as to the many selfless volunteers who will be honored for 
their commitment to their community.
  They deserve our praise and thanks.
