                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JIM SAXTON

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 16, 2007

  Mr. SAXTON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate my good 
friend, Jane Maloney, the 2007 recipient of the Hope Award. This great 
honor, awarded annually by the Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey, 
recognizes a member of the community who has demonstrated outstanding 
dedication to the area's senior population. I am so pleased that this 
year's honor is bestowed upon Jane.
  Jane has served as the director of the Ocean County Office of Senior 
Services since 2004, and was formerly the assistant to the director for 
15 years. During this time, Jane has been a dedicated, tireless 
advocate for the seniors of Ocean County, NJ. She was one of 58 
Americans to serve on the National Advisory Committee for the 1981 
White House Conference on Aging, and was also a delegate to the 1995 
and 2005 White House Conferences on Aging. Additionally, Jane is an 
active member of the New Jersey Association of Area Agencies on Aging, 
as well as other committees with common goals of improving the quality 
of life for older adults, and has been a long-time supporter of the 
Interfaith Volunteer Caregiver Initiative.
  Jane and I have had the pleasure of working together over the past 
two decades on a variety of issues of importance to the seniors of 
Ocean County. Throughout this time, we have collaborated on many 
important initiatives, and it is always with great interest and 
appreciation that I learn of the valuable work she is doing.
  These details are just a few of the reasons Jane Maloney is a 
deserving recipient of the 2007 Hope Award. I wholeheartedly 
congratulate her on this great honor, and look forward to our continued 
work together on behalf of Ocean County's senior population.
