                    TRIBUTE TO DICK AND DORIS ALAIMO

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JIM SAXTON

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 29, 2003

  Mr. SAXTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Dick and 
Doris Alaimo, who have been chosen as this year's recipients of the 
Lloyd Ritter Community Service Award given by the Volunteer Center of 
Burlington County, NJ.
  Dick and Doris are well-known throughout southern New Jersey for 
their outstanding history of community service and involvement in local 
organizations, and have been personal friends for many, many years, 
during which time we have worked together on many projects for the 
benefit of our community.
  The Alaimos work in tandem with Memorial Hospital of Burlington 
County's Foundation, the Burlington County Chapter of the Boy Scouts of 
America and the Rancocas Valley Education Foundation. They also serve 
on the committee for Mount Holly Pro Day, an event which brings 
illustrious sports figures such as Mount Holly native Franco Harris 
into the limelight in effort to raise funds for local children in need, 
a cornerstone of much of their work through the years.
  Successful in careers, business, and in life, Dick and Doris Alaimo 
have generously shared their success, time, money, energy and most 
importantly, care and concern with the community, always striving to 
make our hometown a better place to live and work.
  It is for these reasons they have been selected to receive this 
prestigious award, and for these reasons I pay tribute to them today. 
May their legacy of volunteerism continue through their children, 
grandchildren, and the community they so love.
