                          HON. ERIC J.J. MASSA

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 22, 2009

  Mr. MASSA. Madam Speaker, I would like to take a moment to recognize 
the service and achievements of the Clifton Springs Hospital & Clinic 
Auxiliary. The Hospital Auxiliary celebrated 50 years of community 
service on January 26, 2009. A reception to commemorate

the first meeting of the Auxiliary was held on the same day. During 
their first year, the Auxiliary ambitiously initiated five projects 
that were used to better patient care: occupational therapy, hostesses 
to serve daily coffee/tea, magazine distribution, flower committee and 
Pinkie Puppets for Easter. The Hospital Auxiliary has since organized 
numerous fundraising events to pay for projects and equipment that 
would not have come to fruition otherwise. These important projects 
have been critical to increasing the comfort of Clifton Springs 
Hospital patients. For their tireless dedication to patient well-being, 
it is my pleasure to honor the Clifton Springs Hospital & Clinic 
Auxiliary.
