                  RECOGNIZING LENAPE VALLEY FOUNDATION

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Fitzpatrick) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, for over a half century, the Lenape 
Valley Foundation has provided assistance, compassion, and hope to 
thousands of children, adults, and families within my district. They 
offer services related to mental health, substance abuse, intellectual 
disability, and early intervention.
  I was pleased to meet with community leaders and volunteers during 
the groundbreaking ceremony at The Lodge at Lenape Valley Foundation, a 
new construction on the campus of Lower Bucks Hospital.
  The new facility will provide more outpatient mental health services, 
including individual group and family therapy, an improved crisis call 
center, an improved crisis walk-in center, peer support, and Bucks 
County's only Crisis Residential Program.
  I am thankful for the leadership of the Lenape Valley executive team: 
Alan Hartl, Walter Wolaniuk, Sharon Curran, Philip Braun, JoAnne Davis, 
Mary Dubyk, Mary Jane Fletcher, Traci Gorman, Angela Jacobsen, Marjorie 
Morgan, and Mary Ann Venezia, as well as board president, Robert 
Rogala; vice president, Lisa Bodine; secretary, Helene Cevasco Mathern; 
treasurer, Mark Strasburg; and all the board of directors.
  I am proud to work with an organization which recognizes that 
everyone can grow and progress toward personal fulfillment, and we are 
proud to stand by their side.
