  HONORING THE SERVICE OF CLIFTON SPRINGS HOSPITAL & CLINIC AUXILIARY

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ERIC J. J. MASSA

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 22, 2009

  Mr. MASSA. Madam Speaker, I would like to take a moment to recognize 
the service and achievements of the Clifton Springs Hospital & Clinic 
Auxiliary. The Hospital Auxiliary celebrated 50 years of community 
service on January 26, 2009. A reception to commemorate the first 
meeting of the Auxiliary was held on the same day. During their first 
year, the Auxiliary ambitiously initiated five projects that were used 
to better patient care: occupational therapy, hostesses to serve daily 
coffee/tea, magazine distribution, flower committee and Pinkie Puppets 
for Easter. The Hospital Auxiliary has since organized numerous 
fundraising events to pay for projects and equipment that would not 
have come to fruition otherwise. These important projects have been 
critical to increasing the comfort of Clifton Springs Hospital 
patients. For their tireless dedication to patient well-being, it is my 
pleasure to honor the Clifton Springs Hospital & Clinic Auxiliary.
