 TRIBUTE TO MAUREEN HEGG, THE 1999 LONDONDERRY CIVIC VOLUNTEER OF THE 
                                  YEAR

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to pay 
tribute to Maureen Hegg on being named the ``1999 Civic Volunteer of 
the Year'' by the Londonderry Business Council. I commend her 
outstanding accomplishments and I wish to congratulate her for 
receiving this distinguished award.
  As President of the Londonderry Cares Organization, Maureen has 
worked diligently toward making a difference in the lives of 
Londonderry's youth. Under Maureen's guidance, the organization affords 
the town's young people a place to go in the evening for planned 
activities.
  Along with a group of dedicated individuals, Maureen has been working 
to open a YMCA in the Town of Londonderry. As such, Maureen is the 
chairperson of the Nutfield YMCA Kickoff Fundraising Dinner, an event 
established to assist in attracting a YMCA.
  There is no greater gift to a community than one's time, talent, and 
energy. Volunteerism is truly special and is at the heart of what makes 
this community and this nation a great place to live.
  Mr. President, Maureen Hegg has demonstrated a deep commitment to the 
Town of Londonderry and its citizens. Her tireless efforts to improve 
the quality of life in the town and provide the youth of Londonderry 
with recreational programs is outstanding. I congratulate Maureen on 
being named ``Civic Volunteer of the Year,'' and it is an honor to 
represent her in the United States Senate.
