                       TRIBUTE TO DAVID J. AUGER

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRAD SHERMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 21, 1997

  Mr. SHERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize David J. Auger as 
the 1997 Golden Horn Award recipient. This honor is presented to those 
who are deeply involved in our community and supportive of the Valley 
Cultural Center and its efforts to bring music to Woodland Hills.
  The Valley Cultural Center seeks to enlighten, educate and enrich 
present and future generations by providing diverse programs through 
the performing and visual arts. Their programs include music therapy, 
community concerts, music in the schools, music for seniors, and 
performances for children.
  David's contributions to the Valley Cultural Center are endless. As 
the vice president and general manager of Time Warner's Northern Region 
of the Los Angeles Division, David has solidified a partnership between 
Time Warner and the Valley Cultural Center and has made Time Warner a 
benefactor for the center. This partnership has resulted in $10,000 
worth of financial support for the center and the development of a 
successful outreach program.
  Today, David's main project in conjunction with the Valley Cultural 
Center is a video outreach program. With the use of video, David hopes 
to spread the benefits of music therapy to those outside of our 
community and around the world. His ingenuity in community involvement 
combined with his extensive record of service earns him this special 
recognition.
  David's community service extends beyond the Valley Cultural Center 
to include the Valley Industry Commerce Association, Pacific Lodge 
Youth Services, Cal State University foundation, and the Los Angeles 
Cable Operators Association. His previous awards include the Tree of 
Life Award from the Jewish National fund, the Human Relations Award 
from the San Fernando Valley Interfaith Council and countless others 
which merely scratch the surface of his broad range of dedication and 
strength of his role in the community.
  Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleagues, please join me in honoring 
David for his service and recognizing him as the 1997 Golden Horn Award 
recipient. His service dedication to our community distinguish David in 
our community.
