                        IN HONOR OF DORIS SEPTEN

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 1, 2005

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition and 
appreciation of Doris Septen, a dedicated employee and caring staff 
member of the Visiting Nurse Association of Central Jersey. It is with 
great admiration that I honor Doris today for her unwavering commitment 
to the VNA for the past 50 years.
  Doris originally came to the association as a clerk for a fundraising 
consultant, the Foote System, in 1955. Since then, she has held such 
positions as receptionist, assistant supervisor and supervisor of the 
Foote Department, and senior clerk. Her warm, caring voice has greeted 
callers and reassured patients and their families for many years.
  Through her hard work and devotion, Doris earned herself further 
promotions to communications operator, and customer service 
coordinator. Furthermore, Doris was named VNA of Central Jersey's first 
employee of the month in 2003. These accomplishments only further 
reiterate what a worthy, notable person Doris Septen is and how 
indispensable she has become to her organization.
  Doris is a compassionate woman that is genuinely concerned with the 
well-being of those who rely on the VNACJ. She handles many tasks, such 
as tracking down nurses for patients, helping callers on the main 
switchboard, and facilitating the Monmouth County support staff 
council.
  Mr. Speaker, I hope my colleagues will join me in recognizing Ms. 
Doris Septen for all she has done for the VNACJ community, and 
congratulate her on reaching the milestone of 50 years of service.
