Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a small business in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, for helping kids in our community. Bowen's Barber Shop in Newtown recently teamed up with the Bucks County Intermediate Unit to give five young men with special needs haircuts for their prom. In addition to their haircuts, these students got the ability to interact and independently communicate with their barber, giving them real-world experience and confidence. Bowen's has been a longstanding, respected business in Newtown, and I appreciate their contributions to our community. I thank the owner of Bowen's, Tracey Bowen, for her generosity. I would also like to extend my gratitude to Merri Kurman and the Bucks County Intermediate Unit transition program for their work in empowering individuals with special needs. Our community thanks each and every one of these individuals and organizations. ____________________
