                       Wednesday, March 24, 1999

  Mrs. WILSON. Mr. Speaker, I wish to bring to your attention the works 
of Jerry Bell, an outstanding volunteer for Noon Day Ministry in 
Albuquerque, New Mexico.
  Jerry Bell volunteers her time to the homeless at Noon Day Ministry. 
Noon Day Ministry serves approximately 300 homeless men, women and 
children four days a week. Jerry's commitment to volunteer work comes 
from a strong family support system that instilled the value of helping 
others. By those who work with Jerry she is described as the organizer, 
the person who really keeps the place in shape. By those she serves, 
Jerry is known for providing more than lunch. She offers hugs, a pat on 
the shoulder and a kiss on the cheek--the sincere message of caring for 
another.
  Please join me in thanking Jerry Bell for her caring contributions to 
individuals, families and our community of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
