                 HONORING THE STEUBENVILLE SUNSET CLUB

                                 ______


                         HON. DOUGLAS APPLEGATE

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 17, 1994

  Mr. APPLEGATE. Mr. Speaker, one of the tremendous aspects of American 
society and a truly outstanding value of our Nation can be found in the 
way we look after and care for the senior citizens of the United 
States.
  No finer example of this outstanding commitment exists than in the 
proven track record of the Steubenville Sunset Club, an association 
dedicated to providing services and social activities for the older 
citizens of this community in eastern Ohio. I'm very pleased to inform 
my colleagues in the House of Representatives that the Sunset Club will 
be observing its 40th anniversary next Tuesday, May 24th.
  Since 1954, the Sunset Club has offered the seniors of Steubenville 
more than just a place to gather. Most of all, the club has worked at 
extending a vital hand to each and every participant who has ever had 
the experience of working with the Sunset Club and its numerous 
volunteers. These volunteers fully deserve our utmost recognition and 
honor, including Mrs. Emma Gorsuch, a co-founder and a continuous 
member of the club since its beginning. Mrs. Gorsuch, I should add, has 
also served as a director of the senior citizens components of the 
Sunset Club.
  I also want to pay tribute to the late Frank Linton, another co-
founder of the Sunset Club and a longtime recreation director for the 
city of Steubenville. Mr. Linton and Mrs. Gorsuch have done more than 
anyone else in paving the way for the Steubenville Sunset Club to 
become the community success that it has become, and I wish to join 
with all of my colleagues in bestowing a special honor to the many 
volunteers who have served and who continue to serve. Mr. Speaker, I 
wish to extend my very best wishes and hopes to the Sunset Club for yet 
another 40 additional years and more of dedication and service to our 
senior citizens. Congratulations.
