  Mr. LEE of New York. Madam Speaker, it is with great pride that I 
rise today to pay tribute to Dr. Tammie Lee Demler of Wheatfield, NY, 
for recently being awarded the prestigious Bowl of Hygeia for her 
outstanding pharmacy service and leadership in our community.
  For nearly 50 years, the Bowl of Hygeia award program has been a 
vehicle to encourage pharmacists to excel beyond their standard job 
duties and pay back their communities through exceptional public 
service. Dr. Demler is a well deserving recipient of this award.
  Currently, Dr. Demler is the Director of Pharmacy Services for the 
Buffalo Psychiatric Center. She additionally serves as the Program 
Director for the Post Doctoral Pharmacy Residency Program at the 
University of Buffalo School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
  In addition to her impressive career, Dr. Demler's leadership has 
been recognized by her peers as she was the first woman elected 
President of the Pharmacists Society of the State of New York in the 
organization's 125-year history.
  Dr. Demler's dedication to the community has included participation 
as the Erie County Site Staging manager for the Specialized Medical 
Assistance Response Team (SMART), organizing the world class Taste of 
Buffalo as a member of the Board of Directors and Restaurant committee. 
In addition she has been able to use her professional skills in 
pharmacy to host her own TV segment on WNY Tonight.
  Madam Speaker, in recognition of the her dedication to our community 
and improving the lives of Western New Yorkers, I ask this Honorable 
Body to join me in congratulating Dr. Tammie Lee Demler for being 
awarded the prestigious Bowl of Hygeia award.
