    RECOGNITION OF MS. CLARA DAVELER'S OUTSTANDING COMMUNITY SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. TAMMY BALDWIN

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 14, 1999

  Ms. BALDWIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor an amazing woman, one who 
has bettered the lives of many people over the years, Ms. Clara 
Daveler. As the manager at a senior nutrition site, Ms. Daveler has 
been filling a real need in the community by providing nutritious, 
appetizing hot lunches to seniors at the Bashford Methodist Church for 
over 15 years. Not only does she serve, prepare, and tidy up after the 
meals, she does so with a smile and kind words, as the regulars, the 
delivery man, and her co-workers can attest. Ms. Daveler, a 76-year-old 
dynamo, still works 20 hours per week, and when asked about her job, 
says, ``We always have a good time.''
  This October is the 25th anniversary of the Bashford Methodist 
Church's senior nutrition site, and to commemorate this special time, 
Clara's co-workers wanted to honor the one woman without whom it 
couldn't have happened. I commend Clara Daveler for her great 
contributions, and I wish her many more happy years with her friends 
and colleagues at the Bashford Methodist Church.
