  Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor Mrs. 
Diane Pesch-Savatteri, a dedicated volunteer and resident of Buffalo, 
New York. Diane's tireless service is recognized today by None Like 
You/We Care Outreach and the City of Buffalo.
   Diane is a graduate of the State University of New York at Buffalo 
and is a proud mother and grandmother. She is the president of 
Concordia Cemetery, a board member of None Like You/ We Care Outreach, 
and a volunteer for the American Red Cross Disaster Relief. Diane is a 
developmental Disabilities Program Specialist for the New York State- 
WNY Developmental Disabilities Services office where she advocates for, 
and teaches and trains her patients.
   As president of Concordia Cemetery, Mrs. Pesch-Savatteri had led a 
valiant effort to transform the abandoned cemetery into a place of 
history, beauty and serenity. While serving on the None Like You/We 
Care Outreach board, she has been a tremendous help in aiding with the 
organization, preparation and execution of their annual Christmas and 
Thanksgiving dinners. She also supervises volunteers and uses her 
experience in social work to help those in need.
   Mr. Speaker, I honor Mrs. Diane Pesch-Savatteri and her admirable 
dedication to the City of Buffalo. Her commitment to the rehabilitation 
and beautification of the community is exceptional, and she is most 
deserving of this recognition by None Like You/We Care and the City of 
Buffalo.
