Whereas the Rotary Club of Capitol Hill is the first new Rotary Club to be

Whereas the 20 Charter Members of the Club have exemplified the time-honored 
        motto of the Rotary Club to place ``Service above Self'';

        Eric Dell, Vice President Harold N. Burdett, Secretary James M. Romano,

Whereas former Judge Frank Montgomery, Werner Fornos, J.W. Arnold, District 
        Governor Jim McDiarmid, District Governor-Elect Ray Streib, and 
        Catherine Tran helped establish the Rotary Club of Capitol Hill and the 
        historic Rotary Club of Washington, D.C.;
Whereas the object of Rotary Clubs is to encourage and foster the ideal of
