  Mr. RUSH. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to rise today to 
offer my sincerest congratulations to Ada S. McKinley Community 
Services as they celebrate their 75th anniversary. On June 24, the 
people of Chicago will join together to pay tribute to one of the 
largest community services organizations in the city for their 
remarkable achievements and endeavors over the past seven decades.
  Founded in 1919 as the War Camp Club, Ada S. McKinley Community 
Services today serves nearly 10,000 people each year in the Chicagoland 
area. These services include programs for the elderly; education 
services, including college preparation and placement assistance for 
graduating seniors, Head Start, and special education for students with 
disabilities; job employment and training for the mentally and 
physically challenged; and counseling for youth and their families.
  For 75 years, Ada S. McKinley Community Services have cared for 
Chicago's needy, and have improved the quality of life for so many 
citizens of Chicago. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in 
celebrating this wonderful event.
