                      Thursday, September 18, 1997

  Mr. FAZIO of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
first annual tribute to seniors community celebration in Solano County, 
CA, which will take place on September 24, 1997.
  This all-day event will include speakers, workshops, and 
entertainment, as well as educational offerings. It will also 
incorporate the annual health fair. It will be the first event of its 
kind to address fully the issues and interest of seniors throughout 
Solano County. Seniors and members of the Vacaville community have come 
together to create this event, which will serve to benefit all the 
citizens of Solano regardless of age.
  We should also make note of the positive effects that can occur when 
our citizens join with their elected leaders, be they local, regional 
or national, and with shared visions, accomplish that which we all 
strive for: A community spirit that thrives and makes us proud.
  In closing, I would like to commend the distinguished members of the 
Tribute to Seniors Committee. The committee is comprised of the 
following individuals, all of whom have dedicated their time and energy 
to the success of this special event: Chairman Charles Conti, Diana 
Barney, Kristen Delaplane, Lynn Kessler, Dorothy Locke, and Jim Tooke.
  Congratulations to everyone who is working to make this day a caring 
and sharing celebration.
