IN HONOR OF ANN'S CHOICE
(Mr. FITZPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute.)
Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, this past week, I had the privilege of
addressing about 700 residents back home in my district, the residents
of the Ann's Choice retirement community in Warminster Township, Bucks
County, and to thank those residents and senior citizens for
collectively putting together over 55,000 hours of community service,
really outstanding community service, back home in Bucks County.
Some of the many activities that accounted for a tremendous amount of
hours included tutoring and reading to elementary school children,
providing wheelchair escorts, sorting and packaging clothing for the
needy, creating blankets for ill children, and providing comfort to
those in need.
Mr. Speaker, communities are built on service to others. Through this
service, the community of Ann's Choice is, in fact, strong and vibrant.
The countless lives they have touched have made Bucks County a stronger
and better place to live, and for that I salute them.
