  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize this year's 
``Women Who Make a Difference'' being honored by the YWCA in my home of 
Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
  Since 1954, the YWCA of Bucks County has worked to empower women and 
provide a wide range of educational programs to the disadvantaged and 
vulnerable populations in our community.
  After accepting nominations from the community, the YWCA has chosen 
the following women to receive this year's honors: Anne Clark, Yolando 
D'Arcangelo, Jeryl DeGideo, Susan Eckert, Mynetta Edwards, Kim Everett, 
Kathy Feldcamp, L.J. Herman, Jo Klienmann-Wood, Jacqueline Garnett 
Neal, Sally Pollock, and Kathleen Rosso-Gana.
  All of these women have made a big difference in my Congressional 
District. Their overall empathy for others has helped our neighbors 
fight life threatening diseases and overcome physical challenges. Their 
enthusiasm for learning has inspired our youth, and their sense of duty 
has compelled them to assist total strangers in crisis, sometimes 
putting their own lives at risk.
  The hard work and dedication that these women have shown has made 
Bucks County a better place for all of us. Thanks again to the YWCA and 
all of this year's honorees.
