                         Thursday, July 1, 2010

  Mr. ADLER of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Bertha 
``Bert'' Manecio, a resident of Lumberton, New Jersey and dedicated 
volunteer at the Memorial Hospital Thrift Shop in Mount Holly, New 
Jersey.
  Bert began her volunteer services at the Thrift Shop in 1970. Before 
her ``retirement'' in May 2010 she had volunteered for forty years and 
donated over 10,700 hours of her time. Bert helped maintain the shop by 
tagging and pricing donated garments and helping at the register. She 
has always given her total support and welcomed any changes with 
enthusiasm and excitement. She has been a valuable asset to the program 
and her selfless efforts must be recognized.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that you please join me in congratulating Bert 
for her outstanding and dedicated community service.
