 CONGRATULATING LOVING CHOICES PREGNANCY CENTERS OF NORTHWEST ARKANSAS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN BOOZMAN

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 26, 2008

  Mr. BOOZMAN. Madam Speaker, I would like to congratulate Loving 
Choices Pregnancy Centers of Northwest Arkansas. The centers provide 
critical services for women who are faced with life changing decisions.
  Employees in the Rogers and Fayetteville centers have a difficult 
task counseling and educating one thousand women annually on the 
choices they have. Their job is made easier with the help of 30 
volunteers who collectively spend more than one thousand hours serving 
the needs of women in a reproductive health crisis. Offering a 
listening ear, helping expectant mothers prepare for their baby and 
using their sewing skills are just a handful of services volunteers 
provide.
  In recognition of their efforts, Loving Choices Pregnancy Centers of 
Northwest Arkansas received the `President's Volunteer Services Award.' 
This honor is given to Americans who demonstrate their commitment to 
volunteerism and inspire others to do follow their example.
  I am thankful Northwest Arkansas residents are so willing to help 
their neighbors in need and share their time and resources to benefit 
the greater good of the community. Volunteers are a critical component 
of ensuring the continued success of Loving Choices Pregnancy Centers 
of Northwest Arkansas.
