        CONGRATULATIONS TO BETHESDA-CHEVY CHASE MEALS ON WHEELS

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. CONSTANCE A. MORELLA

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, February 5, 1998

  Mrs. MORELLA. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise today 
to recognize the outstanding work done by the Bethesda-Chevy Chase 
Meals on Wheels. On February 11, the organization will mark the one 
millionth meal delivered in more than 25 years of continuous service to 
those in need.
  The remarkable commitment displayed by the B-CC program is best 
exemplified by some of the veterans who have been with the organization 
since its inception. Alfred Wellborn, Mary Bartels, and Ann-Marie 
Snyder, all have worked for, and supported, the B-CC Meals on Wheels 
since the beginning. They are the embodiment of perseverance and 
dedication.
  There are many other unsung heroes of this institution. The burden of 
cost for deliveries rests on the shoulders of the volunteers, while the 
Christian Church provides office space for administrative duties. Many 
other area places of worship contribute by supplying volunteers and 
organizing routes, such as Chevy Chase Methodist Church, St. Dunstan's 
Church and St. John's Episcopal Church.
  I salute the commitment displayed by these individuals and 
congratulate them heartily on their achievement. Furthermore, I join 
the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Meals on Wheels in their celebration of 
longevity and distinguished performance in service.
