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.
Honoring United Way of Bucks County
Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, the United Way of Bucks County is
dedicated to improving the lives through the caring power of
communities. We all have a stake in making our communities healthy and
prosperous. The United Way of Bucks County is committed to working

UNITED WAY OF BUCKS COUNTY Mr. FITZPATRICIK. Mr. Speaker,
The online version has been corrected to read: HONORING UNITED
WAY OF BUCKS COUNTY Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker,
========================= END NOTE =========================
The United Way works in close collaboration with diverse partners in
Bucks County. From schools, government agencies, community
corporations, neighborhood associations, the faith community, and
volunteers, the United Way brings together passion, resources, and
expertise to get things done in Bucks County.
Although there are about 1,300 United Way chapters nationally, each
chapter shapes its own identity, holding firm
[[Page H6150]]
that everyone deserves a good life through quality education, stable
employment, supportive income, and good health.
I am very proud to work with Bucks County's team at the United Way:
Marissa Christie, Faith Parkinson, Patricia Winslow Gallagher, Matt
Uhler, Danielle Bush, Tim Philpot, Candi Guerrero, Katie Matarazzo, Dan
Warvolis, and Pat Miller.
Mr. Speaker, these problem-solvers are making an impact on improving
lives and making Bucks County a more prosperous community, and for
that, they are deserving of all of our thanks and support.
