                      Wednesday, February 27, 2002

  Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the members of 
AARP chapter number 2840 of Falling Spring, Pennsylvania, on the 25th 
Anniversary of the chapter's founding. The AARP is dedicated to 
enhancing the quality of life for its members and for members of the 
community through education, advocacy, and service.
  This very active chapter is comprised of nearly 650 members and 100 
honorary members. The members of this chapter focus on community 
service and strive to live by their motto ``To Serve and Not to be 
Served.'' To that end, this chapter has served as the longtime sponsor 
and supporter of the Chambersburg Toy Mission, which help bring the 
Christmas spirit to children in Franklin County. The members also 
participate in the Adopt-a-Highway program and the ``Meals on Wheels'' 
program. The chapter even has its own chorus that tours the area 
performing for residents of nursing and retirement homes.
  The Falling Spring chapter of the AARP is a wonderful example of an 
organization that is making a difference in the lives of the people of 
central Pennsylvania. I enthusiastically congratulate them on their 
anniversary and wish them another successful 25 years.
