                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 6, 1995
  Mr. FAZIO of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
the 75th anniversary of the Rotary Club of Marysville, CA. Founded in 
1920, the Rotary Club of Marysville has been a strong leader in 
encouraging and fostering community service in the Yuba-Sutter area.
  This club has reached out to a wide variety of people, including 
business leaders, children, and the elderly. The Rotary Club of 
Marysville has contributed both financial and moral support to 
thousands of local organizations ranging from youth soccer to Habitat 
for Humanity. Throughout its long history of community service, the 
Rotary Club has promoted high ethical standards for the business and 
professional community.
  But the focus of the Rotary Club is not limited to local groups. This 
club has lived up to its goal of fostering understanding and goodwill 
among people of different nations as well as its closer neighbors. 
Through the Rotary International Foundation, the Rotary Club of 
Marysville has been a vital participant in the Polio Plus Campaign. 
This program has provided crucial funding and services for the fight 
against polio in third world countries.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues in the House of Representatives to 
join me in celebrating the long history of achievement of the Rotary 
Club of Marysville on its 75th anniversary. I commend its membership's 
commitment to community service, and wish them continuing goodwill.
