                                 ______
                                 

          AUDRAIN MEDICAL CENTER AUXILIARY OF MEXICO, MISSOURI

 Mr. BOND. Mr. President, today I join with my constituents in 
recognizing the Audrain Medical Center Auxiliary 50th Golden Jubilee.
  For the last 50 years, the Audrain Medical Center Auxiliary has 
voluntarily helped raise money for the Audrain Medical Center. Fifty 
years ago the group was created with 65 charter members and in 2 years 
grew to 165. Today, the membership is a unique group of 224 Missourians 
who are dedicated to bettering their local community through their 
service work. As of 2004 the group has raised $839,700 for the Audrain 
Medical Center. This year donations will go toward the telemetry unit 
for cardiac rehabilitation and a portable x-ray machine. I stand here 
today rest assured that through their continued hard work and 
dedication the group will soon reach their goal of $1 million.
  It is my great honor to recognize the community participants that 
comprise the Audrain Medical Center Auxiliary on this, the 50th Golden 
Jubilee of the organization. On behalf of the people of the State of 
Missouri, I look forward to 50 more years of leadership and outstanding 
civic participation from the Audrain Medical Center Auxiliary.
