                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DARRELL E. ISSA

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 31, 2006

  Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor Fallbrook People to 
People Services on the occasion of 24 years of outstanding services to 
the North County San Diego community.
  On January 29, 2006, Fallbrook People to People Services celebrated 
24 years of providing nonprofit, volunteer run, free employment and 
counseling resources to under served members of North San Diego County. 
The volunteers have served the community by matching citizens with 
needs with individuals whom can assist. As a result, over 11,300 jobs 
have been identified and filled.
  Mr. Speaker, with the dedication of Fallbrook People to People 
Service volunteers, many elderly or incapacitated clients are able to 
find affordable home health care, housekeeping, and home maintenance 
assistance that they would otherwise be unable to locate. Many local 
businesses also take advantage of this resource to staff sales, 
service, office and maintenance positions. Young mothers, first time 
workers, and middle-aged women are given assistance to support their 
families and find meaningful employment in order to become self-
sufficient citizens.
  On the occasion of Fallbrook People to People Service's 24th 
anniversary, I would like to personally recognize the work of those who 
have served as volunteers, staff and board members of this exceptional, 
nonprofit organization.
