AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY'S DISCOVERY SHOP
(Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Speaker, in the Ninth District of Ohio, the
American Cancer Society Discovery Shop in Sylvania, Ohio, in Lucas
County, won the Denise Noel Award for bringing in the most sales out of
any location in our entire country.
The award is presented by the American Cancer Society to a person or
group that has made significant contributions to the Discovery program.
The Discovery Shop, which is a volunteer-run thrift store, sells
donated clothes, household goods, antiques, collectibles, jewelry,
artwork, and small furniture.
Purchases at these fine establishments help the American Cancer
Society fund advocacy research and patient support programs to improve
the lives of cancer patients and their families.
Anita Schuller, the manager of the Sylvania location, attributes the
store's success to the involvement of the community and the dedication
of its volunteers. Volunteers at the store credit Ms. Schuller's
leadership and her ability to create and maintain a positive atmosphere
for the award.
In this home away from home for many, there is not one person that
does not go above and beyond for their Sylvania and our broader
community.
Madam Speaker, congratulations to Ms. Schuller and the entire team.
