  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 
Fairview Auxiliary Board to Fairview General Hospital, whose selfless 
efforts exemplify a model of benevolence and altruism.
  Over fifty years ago this organization was founded under the auspices 
of providing essential resources to the hospital for equipment, 
building funds, and scholarships. Today, this organization has 
blossomed to staff over 140 volunteers dedicated to this proposition. 
Their hours of volunteered time have resulted in astounding success. 
Volunteers have contributed over 30,000 hours and raised more than 
$600,000 in the past ten years alone.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me today in commending the members of the 
Fairview Auxiliary Board. We must encourage organizations such as 
theirs to continue to volunteer their time and effort in the interest 
of the betterment of the world.

                          ____________________
