                       Wednesday, March 16, 2011

  Mr. ALEXANDER. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise today 
to congratulate Ruth Beavers for being selected as a recipient of the 
Daily Point of Light Award. This award is a testament that Ruth is a 
true leader for her volunteer service to St. Francis Medical Center in 
Monroe, LA.
  Ruth joined the St. Francis Medical Center volunteer program in 2000. 
As of September 30, 2010, she has devoted 7,764 hours of service to St. 
Francis Medical Center. Ruth has continually demonstrated the mission 
of St. Francis Medical Center by her commitment to reaching out to 
others in their time of need. She has brought comfort and hope to 
patients and their families with her sincere concern for their welfare.
   During this past decade, Ruth has dedicated her time, talent and 
energy to helping others. Her commitment to service is a true example 
of citizenship. She is truly an unsung hero to St. Francis Medical 
Center and the St. Francis Volunteer program. Her compassion and 
faithful service to St. Francis Medical Center's patients, families, 
and staff exemplifies the best in volunteerism.
   She is an example of how one person can change the lives of many, 
and I commend Ruth for her hard work and dedication to making a 
positive difference in the community. I ask my colleagues to join me in 
honoring Mrs. Ruth Beavers for this significant achievement.
