         TRIBUTE TO THE ST. VINCENT DE PAUL COMMUNITY PHARMACY

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I pay tribute to the St. Vincent 
de Paul Community Pharmacy of Crescent Springs, KY on its outstanding 
dedication to the community.
  The St. Vincent de Paul Community Pharmacy has been in operation for 
nearly 2 years now. Since then it has provided an invaluable community 
service by filling expensive drug prescriptions for the needy for free.
  In this era of high costs for prescription drugs, it is very 
comforting to know that there are groups such as St. Vincent de Paul 
which are helping low-income people afford the prescriptions that they 
need. In its first 6 months of operation alone, the pharmacy has 2,000 
prescriptions totaling $180,000 in value. These efforts are made 
possible by concerned citizens and volunteer pharmacists that dedicate 
their time to this worthy endeavor.
  The people of northern Kentucky, and across the entire Commonwealth, 
can all be proud of the dedication and kindness shown by the people at 
the St. Vincent de Paul Community Pharmacy. In order for our society to 
continue to be at its best, we must have organizations like St. Vincent 
de Paul Community Pharmacy in our communities and our lives. Kentucky 
is in your debt, and you make us all proud.
