  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Bruce and 
Nancy Weinstock, who will be receiving the Making A Difference Award 
from the Wyoming Valley Children's Association. The award is given to 
individuals who ``go above and beyond'' in their commitment and service 
to the WVCA.
  The Wyoming Valley Children's Association has been helping children 
with disabilities since its founding in 1923 by the Rotary Club of 
Wilkes-Barre and the Community Chest. Today, the WVCA is dedicated to 
nurturing the potential of all children. Their staff works tirelessly 
to implement the latest educational strategies and therapy techniques. 
The WVCA serves typically developed children, as well as children with 
a variety of conditions and diagnoses such as autism, cerebral palsy, 
Down syndrome, multiple sclerosis, and muscular dystrophy.
  Bruce and Nancy have supported the WVCA for over 30 years. In the 
early 1980s, the two got involved with the WVCA's ``Sweet Treat'' candy 
bar drive. Together, they distributed boxes of candy to local 
businesses on behalf of the WVCA families. Bruce has served as a member 
of the WVCA Board of Directors for 18 years and is a former board 
president.
  It is an honor to recognize Bruce and Nancy Weinstock for their 
support of the Wyoming Valley Children's Association. I am grateful for 
all they do for the youth of Northeastern Pennsylvania.
