                     RECOGNIZING GRACE BIBLE CHURCH

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Fitzpatrick) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a faith community 
in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, that truly embodies the virtues of 
kindness and charity. Grace Bible Church in Souderton, will be hosting 
its sixth annual Easter dinner, where all members of our community are 
welcome.
  Like last year, Grace Bible Church will be offering transportation to 
residents of Grundy Manor in Telford and Valley Vista in Souderton so 
that they are able to participate in an evening of food and fellowship.
  Mr. Speaker, I am grateful to all of the congregants of Grace Bible 
Church for opening their doors to our neighbors and for living out 
their Christian faith in their actions.
  I would like to particularly thank and recognize one of the event's 
organizers, Carol Doyle, for her work, along with Pastor Dave Dunbar 
for his vision and for his leadership.


                Recognizing Alan Hartl in His Retirement

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the retirement of a 
true professional and advocate in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, after his 
nearly 40 years of providing mental health counseling and recovery 
services to members of our community.
  Alan Hartl will be stepping down as the chief executive officer of 
the Lenape Valley Foundation after a long and distinguished career. A 
psychologist, Alan has, for decades, been a strong advocate for those 
with behavioral health needs.
  Widely respected throughout Bucks County and among his peers, Alan is 
a member of the board of directors of both the National Council for 
Behavioral Health and the Pennsylvania Rehabilitation and Community 
Providers Association.
  Alan's dedication to improving the lives of our neighbors and his 
delivering hope to those most in need are truly admirable. I wish him 
all the best in his new chapter, and I wish his successor, Sharon 
Curran, all of the best in her new role.


       Recognizing Carolann Begley for Her Work to Prevent Hunger

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize an outstanding 
school administrator in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, who was 
recently recognized by a national nonprofit organization for her work 
to prevent hunger amongst our community students.
  Carolann Begley, nutrition services area supervisor at North Penn 
High School, was named a Breakfast Hero by the organization, No Kid 
Hungry.
  Carolann's work has been instrumental in making breakfast more 
accessible to students, notably through her work to implement a 
breakfast cart for the 2018-2019 school year.
  Mr. Speaker, our community school administrators and educators work 
tirelessly to give our students the resources they need to pursue their 
goals. I applaud Carolann for her service, and I would also like to 
thank North Penn High School Principal Pete Nicholson and the No Kid 
Hungry network, an organization, for all of the work that they do for 
our community.
