RECOGNIZING JUDGE DONALD NASSHORN
(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, the National Council on Alcoholism and
Drug Dependence has awarded its prestigious Bronze Key Award to an
outstanding community servant and leader in my district, the Eighth
Congressional District of Pennsylvania, the Honorable Judge Donald
Nasshorn, for his outstanding contribution in the field and with the
affiliated Council of Southeast Pennsylvania, Inc., where he was a
member of the council's board of directors for 27 years and president
of its board for 16 years.
During this time, Judge Nasshorn led the council through periods of
growth and expansion of its services, including chairing the council's
building committee, as it purchased three buildings to accommodate
council programming, and for many years, he has been recognized as a
champion of early intervention and recovery support services to those
involved in the criminal justice system.
Currently, Judge Nasshorn chairs a Bucks County overdose prevention
task force, and so we join in honoring Judge Nasshorn for his years of
outstanding leadership, for his advocacy, for his compassionate service
to our community, and for setting an example for others to follow.
