  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an 
outstanding community servant in my Congressional District, Ms. Ruthann 
Vihon, of Western Springs, IL, on the occasion of her being honored 
with the Hinsdale/Gateway Rotary Club's Paul Harris Fellow Award on 
March 2, 1996.
  The award recognizes her commitment to community service and 
volunteerism and will provide a $1,000 donation in her name to the 
Rotary Foundation. This truly tireless activist sits on the elected 
Lyons Township High School Board of Education. In addition, Ms. Vihon 
is a volunteer with the Community Support Service, Respite House, and 
the Hindsdale/Gateway Rotary Club Special Needs Scholarship Advisory 
Board, which assists special education students pursue higher 
education.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Ms. Vihon on this honor, and extend to 
her my best wishes on continued success in her service to her 
community.
