                      IN HONOR OF LORRAINE MADDEN

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MICHAEL N. CASTLE

                              of delaware

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 22, 2010

  Mr. CASTLE. Madam Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I pay 
tribute today to Lorraine Madden, the outgoing President of the Ladies 
Auxiliary of the Delaware Volunteer Firemen's Association (LADVFA).
  President Madden has been a life-long member of the Bowers Fire 
Company Auxiliary. Like many other members of the Auxiliary and Fire 
Departments, President Madden's father was the Fire Chief, and her 
mother was President of the Auxiliary. Prior to being elected to this 
new post, President Madden served as President of the Auxiliary at 
Bowers and was also the President of the Auxiliary to the Kent County 
Volunteer Firemen's Association. Her record of service and leadership 
is commendable, and is a reflection of the organization itself.
  When called to action during alarms, LADVFA assist the firemen by 
serving meals or snacks while the companies are fighting fires or 
assisting with other emergencies. The services they provide both the 
fireman and the community are invaluable.
  The LADVFA serve such an important function in our community, and to 
be as effective as possible, they must have dedicated and organized 
leaders. President Madden has been exactly that over the past year and 
the State of Delaware and our nation are greatly indebted to her for 
all of her past and future hard work. Congratulations on a job well 
done!
