                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. FRANK R. WOLF

                              of virginia

                       Wednesday, April 22, 1998

  Mr. WOLF. Mr. Speaker, this Saturday, April 25, will be a special day 
in Fauquier County in the 10th District of Virginia. A very special

volunteer recognition luncheon will be held at Fauquier High School in 
Warrenton sponsored by the Board of Supervisors of Fauquier County.
  That event will conclude the county's National Volunteer Week 
activities in two special ways. First, and most importantly, it will 
honor more than 30 very dedicated senior citizens who have given 
selfishly of their time and energy for many years to help make their 
community a better place in which to live. Second, it will be the first 
county-wide recognition event to be cosponsored by the community-at-
large and the newly established County Volunteer and Information 
Assistance Center.
  Mr. Speaker, what is so wonderful about this recognition is that the 
citizen volunteers who will be honored are 80 years of age or older, 
and many are still very active volunteers. They support the Hospital 
Auxiliary, the Red Cross, and the Senior Center. Their services have 
ranged from helping to provide food and clothing, to supporting blood 
donation drives, to tutoring and mentoring, to visiting and helping the 
sick and shut-ins. They are people who have contributed in so many ways 
to creating the wholesome, caring, and sharing community the citizens 
of Fauquier County enjoy.
  I know our colleagues would join in saluting these extraordinary 
people and thanking them for their spirit of volunteerism. They have 
shown us that helping neighbors by volunteer efforts knows no age 
barrier. They are folks who continue to be an inspiration and example 
for all to follow.
  We join in honoring the following senior volunteers: Virginia T. 
Allison, Ethel Bailey, Hazel Bell, Ruth H. Brittle, Florence Mabel 
Cooper, Mary E. Culver, Everett Danley, Addie V. Desantis, F. Byrd 
Greene, Isabelle H. Hilleary, DeNiece O. Johnson, Viola F. Latham, 
Alice M. Mann, Grace Miller, Ann C. Nelson, Blanche C. O'Connell, Mary 
H. O'Shaughnessy, Andrew C. Parrish, Lewis A. Payne, Luther R. Payne, 
Alice Pullen, Mattie F. Rector, Annie R. Rogers, Alyce G. Russell, 
Dorothy V. Rust, Refa M. Ryan, Anne Brooke Smith, Lawrence W. Sudduth, 
Nina P. Thorpe, Helen Warren, Barbara E. Waterman, Elsie C. Woodzell, 
and John Zirnheld.
