HONORING TODD BUCH
(Mr. FITZPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the
Middletown Community Foundation and to honor one of my constituents
from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Mr. Todd Buch.
Each year, the Middletown Community Foundation honors a local
resident with the Humanitarian of the Year award. The Middletown
Community Foundation is a nonprofit organization created to improve the
quality of life for individuals who live and work in my hometown of
Middletown Township, Bucks County.
This year it is the Humanitarian Award that is being presented to Mr.
Todd Buch. Todd is the president of McCafferty Auto Group in Langhorne.
Todd and his family have been generous and enthusiastic supporters of
their community for decades, and his award from the Middletown
Community Foundation is very fitting. Todd's business achievements
alone have been impressive, with his dealership sustaining hundreds of
jobs in Bucks County. Todd's contributions to the community have gone
beyond his leadership in the business community.
Mr. Speaker, the time allotted to this speech today is frankly
insufficient to list all of Todd's achievements and contributions in
this regard. Just a few recipients of Todd's generosity have been the
Neshaminy High School Choir, the Neshaminy High School Aloha Bowl
Parade, Pennsbuy High School, Bristol Township High School, the United
Way, Middletown Township, and countless others.
Mr. Speaker, during a month when we honored the service of Martin
Luther King, I am reminded of the great civil rights leader's quote
that ``anyone can be great because anyone can serve.'' By this measure
and countless others, Todd Buch is truly great; and I am proud to honor
him today.
