RECOGNIZING ZANE MOORE OF THE BUCKS COUNTY YMCA
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from
Pennsylvania (Mr. Fitzpatrick) for 5 minutes.
Mr. FITZPATRICK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an
individual and organization in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, working to
make our community a better place.
Earlier this month, Zane Moore, the president and CEO of the YMCA of
Bucks County, walked across the entire county to raise awareness of the
positive impact the YMCA has on our neighbors and funding for its
programs.
Last Thursday, Zane began his trek at the YMCA in Quakertown,
wrapping up at the YMCA in Doylestown. He picked up on Friday where he
left off, completing his journey that same day, all the way to the YMCA
in Lower Bucks County in Fairless Hills.
Madam Speaker, I applaud Zane and all the local leaders who joined
him along the way on his journey. We appreciate the work of the YMCA
and all of its efforts to promote education, physical well-being, and
recovery programs for those in our community.

Recognizing Rotarian of the Year Max Rose
Mr. FITZPATRICK. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize a resident of
Bucks County, Pennsylvania, who was recently honored as Rotarian of the
Year by the Rotary Club of Doylestown.
Last month, 24-year Rotary Club member Max Rose received this
distinction at the 10th annual Four-Way Test Awards Fundraiser. During
his distinguished tenure, he twice served as president of the Rotary
Club of Doylestown, has been an instrumental force in the
organization's youth exchange program, and has assisted greatly in
local events such as the Borough Dam cleanup and the Doylestown at Dusk
Car Show.
Madam Speaker, I congratulate Max on this well-deserved recognition.
I also thank Rotary Club president Gail Linenberg, along with all the
members of the Rotary Club of Doylestown, for their dedication and
their service to our community.
Recognizing Students and Faculty of St. Andrew School, Newtown,
Pennsylvania
Mr. FITZPATRICK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an
outstanding group of students in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, who
recently partnered with a local organization to comfort children who
have experienced traumatic events.
At St. Andrew School in Newtown, a group of third-grade students
participated in a service project in collaboration with the Newtown
Quilters' Guild. Using lighthearted drawings by the students, the guild
will create colorful quilts and distribute them to the Newtown Township
Police Department and emergency services personnel to give to young
children who have been through difficult situations.
Madam Speaker, I applaud these students and the faculty of St. Andrew
School in Newtown, especially Principal Nancy Matteo and third-grade
teachers Ashlyn Kalicki and Lynn Dixon.
I also thank all the members of the Newtown Quilters' Guild for their
thoughtfulness, along with all the officers of the Newtown Township
Police Department on this National Police Week. We appreciate all the
work they do for our community.
