RECOGNIZING MARC COMMUNITY RESOURCES
(Mr. BIGGS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. BIGGS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the special work of
Marc Community Resources of Mesa, Arizona. Marc is a nonprofit
organization dedicated to providing education, rehabilitation, and
other social services to children and adults with physical disabilities
and developmental health challenges.
Since 1957, Marc has been committed to helping those with
disabilities live, learn, work, and play. Each year, Marc helps more
than 4,000 people overcome the limitations of their disabilities to
reach their full potential.
The challenges that the disabled face in day-to-day life are often
underappreciated, and their achievements in overcoming those challenges
are frequently overlooked.
I am sure the employees of Marc would say that it is their patients
who are the real heroes; and while they courageously battle severe
challenges, today I rise to commend the heroic efforts of Marc
Community Resources--its owners, managers, and employees--in the work
they do. I am grateful for their service to Mesa and the entire east
valley.
