  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, congratulations to Mary Borkovitz for 
35 years of service to the Lower Makefield Society for the Performing 
Arts, a group she founded in 1978. Earlier, she demonstrated a keen 
spirit of volunteerism by serving on the township Park and Recreation 
Board, as a Girl Scout leader and teaching music in a local nursery 
school. Soon she began a popular community concert series under the 
auspices of the new Lower Makefield Society for the Performing Arts. 
Mary continues serving as executive director of the expanded and 
renamed Bucks County Performing Arts Center as it celebrates its 35th 
anniversary. We join the community in paying tribute to Mary Borkovitz 
for her dedication, enthusiasm and commitment to the performing arts. 
The community is fortunate to have such a remarkable leader. We 
appreciate the commitment she has demonstrated and wish her continued 
success as she sets an example of community service for others to 
follow.
