HONORING THE EMPLOYEES OF THE MOTHER'S COOKIE COMPANY AND WAMZ-FM RADIO 
                           IN LOUISVILLE, KY

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I wish to recognize the employees 
of the Mother's Cookie Company and WAMZ-FM Radio in Louisville, KY, for 
their commitment to philanthropy through their participation in a 
charity softball game to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
  The employees from Mother's Cookie Company assembled a team to take 
on the WAMZ-FM Hamz softball team. For the past 2 years, this 
Louisville radio station has assembled players to compete against area 
businesses willing to provide a location, umpires, and players to raise 
money to benefit the St. Jude Children's Hospital. While the team from 
Mother's Cookies lost a close game by a score of 7-8, they won big 
raising money for St. Jude's Children's hospital. Their donation of 
$1,264.65 was the largest single game donation generated this season.
  I believe the employees of these two companies in Louisville are 
examples of how every American can contribute to the care and 
maintenance of community by participating in activities that bring 
people together, and unselfishly dedicating their time and resources to 
a worthy cause. Companies that give back to the community and employees 
who share their time with others form the backbone of the American 
economy, and are the foundation of a strong neighborhood. The men and 
women who work at the Mother's Cookie Company not only took the time to 
raise money for medical research, but also bake more than 60 percent of 
the Girl Scout cookies in America throughout the year.

  I commend the employees of Mother's Cookie Company and WAMZ-FM Radio 
in Louisville, KY, for their dedication to community service. They are 
an inspiration to the citizens of Kentucky, and I thank them for their 
generosity.
