                        Tuesday, April 16, 2024

  Mr. LANGWORTHY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Lancaster 
Volunteer Ambulance Corps for its 71 years of emergency medical service 
to Western New York. Operating every day of every year, the volunteer 
first responders who comprise Lancaster Ambulance often serve as the 
first and most crucial contact for those suffering from profound 
medical distress. Lancaster Ambulance's impact on Town of Lancaster, 
Village of Lancaster, Town of Alden, Village of Alden, and Village of 
Depew is unquestionable, with its volunteers responding to an 
astounding 7,553 calls last year alone. These dedicated emergency 
responders are treating our friends and neighbors amidst their darkest 
hours, and I am proud to recognize their community service and high 
level of professionalism in the line of duty.
  On behalf of Congress and the 23rd Congressional District, I commend 
the men and women serving as part of the Lancaster Volunteer Ambulance 
Corp. I include in the Record the names of the Lancaster Ambulance 
Board and Management Team into the Record as a sign of respect and 
appreciation for their service and all the members of this important 
organization:
  Chester Popiolkowski--President
  William Revelas--Vice President
  Chistopher Yockey--Secretary
  Robert Over--Treasurer
  Amy Revelas--Director of Operations
  Nancy Revelas--Director
  Allison Abraham--Director
  John O'Donnell--Director
  Jonathan Hunter--Director
  Robert Sank--Chief of Compliance
  Brian Fenik--Chief of Narcotics
  Lynn O'Donnell--Training Coordinator
  I ask that this legislative body joins me in celebrating the 
Lancaster Volunteer Ambulance Corps for its over seven decades of 
service. We thank the many generations of first responders who have 
protected the Town of Lancaster and its surrounding area through this 
exemplary organization.
