                      Wednesday, November 28, 2012

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Betty Proctor for her continued service to our community.
  Betty Proctor founded the organization, Helping Hearts and Hands, to 
give thousands of people a second chance. For over 30 years, her 
organization has helped people in our community who are facing 
eviction, utility shutoff, life saving prescriptions or other 
necessities such as car repairs to get to work.
  Betty's personal commitment to the community spans for more than 50 
years. Betty continues to help those in need find a way out of the 
proverbial rock and hard place. After retiring from her position as a 
caseworker, Betty founded the organization Helping Hearts and Hands. 
Now, at 80 years of age, Betty advocates for seniors in our community.
  I extend my deepest congratulation to Betty Proctor for her well 
deserved honor by the West Chamber serving Jefferson County. I have no 
doubt she will exhibit the same dedication and character in all her 
future accomplishments.
