 Recognizing and honoring the work of Southwest Washington Independent 
                    Forward Thrust and its members.

Whereas nonprofit organizations enrich the fabric of our communities through 
        their positive impacts on culture, the arts, social services, civic 
        matters, and educational endeavors;
Whereas Southwest Washington Independent Forward Thrust was founded in 1975 to 
        improve the lives of the people in southwestern Washington State;
Whereas SWIFT grants provide funds for public art, playgrounds, peer mediation 
        programs for the prevention of school violence, community kitchens for 
        feeding the homeless, and dental and health care clinics for uninsured 
        families; and
Whereas such an organization is due recognition for its service to the Nation: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved,  That the House of Representatives--
            (1) congratulates Southwest Washington Independent Forward 
        Thrust on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of its founding; 
        and
            (2) recognizes and honors the work of Southwest Washington 
        Independent Forward Thrust and its members for their continuing 
        selfless efforts to improve the lives of countless persons and 
        families.
