          TRIBUTE TO BEAVER COUNTY CHILDREN AND YOUTH SERVICES

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. MELISSA A. HART

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 27, 2006

  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize the Beaver County Children & Youth Services.
  The Beaver County Children & Youth Services organization helps place 
children who are victims of child abuse in safe foster homes. The 
program has three different areas of service, which include general 
protective services, teen protective services and substitute care.
  On April 27, 2006, the Commissioners of Beaver County will announce 
that May 2006 will be designated as ``Beaver County Foster Parent 
Month.'' As part of the event, the Beaver County Children & Youth 
Services will tie a blue ribbon to a large tree for each child in 
placement throughout Beaver County. In addition, there will be a large 
blue ribbon displayed in the courthouse for the duration of Foster 
Parent Month. Protecting children is an important issue and I commend 
the efforts of the staff at the Beaver County Children & Youth 
Services.
  I ask my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to 
join me in recognizing the Beaver County Children & Youth Services and 
Beaver County Foster Parent Month.
