                         Thursday, May 20, 1999

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 65th Anniversary 
of Chapter No. 30, The Ladies Auxiliary of the Polish Legion of 
American Veterans.
  Organized on May 23, 1934, The Ladies Auxiliary of the Polish Legion 
of American Veterans was formed to work with the Post, visit the 
hospitalized veterans and to participate in all patriotic, civil and 
religious functions.
  Throughout the past 65 years, the Ladies Auxiliary has worked hard 
for the veterans of Chapter 30 of the Polish Legion by participating in 
many activities, such as, parades, Memorial Masses, Civil functions, 
and ward treats at Wade Park and Brecksville V.A. Hospitals. This 
Chapter has also been involved with State and National Conversions, 
Veterans and Women of the Year, Evening in Warsaw, State Picnic, Night 
at the Races and Bowling Tournaments.
  The Ladies Auxiliary is dedicated to raising money to support 
veterans by holding fund raisers such as, Card Parties, Bingo's, 
Dinners, Picnics, Bake Sales, and Poppy sales. Throughout their years 
of service of helping veterans, Chapter No. 30 has accumulated over 
35,000 registered volunteer hours.
  The members of the Chapter are proud of their Polish Heritage and 
culture and proud to have accomplished so much in the past 65 years. I 
am confident that the Polish Legion of American Veterans Ladies 
Auxiliary will continue their commitment to work for the veterans well 
in to the next millennium.
  My fellow colleagues, please join me in honoring the work and 
dedication of The Ladies Auxiliary of the Polish Legion of American 
Veterans.
