  Mr. SIMPSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 30th 
anniversary of the Assistance League' of Boise, Idaho. This 
outstanding association is an all volunteer, non-profit organization 
that puts caring and commitment into action through philanthropic 
programs in Ada County, Idaho.
  Thirty years ago on this day, 73 charter members opened the door to a 
new philanthropic organization, and over time their membership has 
grown to over 370. Together they provide a multitude of needed services 
to the community.
  The seven philanthropic programs of Assistance League' of 
Boise focus on helping school age children in need, children and adults 
with hearing disabilities, and community education.
  The members of Assistance League' of Boise have achieved 
remarkable results in improving the lives of those in need through 
their innovative and targeted philanthropic programs.
  Congratulations to all the members of this fine and outstanding 
organization on your 30th anniversary. I thank you, the community 
thanks you, the children and families you have helped thank you.
