  Mr. PAPPAS. Mr. Speaker, on Friday, March 27, 1998 the Hunterdon 
County YMCA will recognize Paul C. Sauerland, Jr. as its Man of the 
Year with its 1998 Lend-A-Hand-to-Youth-Award.
  Paul's longtime and wide ranging service to the community, county and 
state have earned him this well deserved recognition.
  Since 1991, Paul has served as a Freeholder in Hunterdon County, New 
Jersey. His service to the county though began a long time before his 
first election to the Freeholder Board. He has been actively involved 
in numerous county boards, councils, and committees ranging in issues 
from transportation, housing, planning, human services, to health care.
  Beyond the service that Paul has given to his local and county 
government, he has also served his state and country through his 
service of over thirty years as a member of National Guard.
  Mr. Speaker, Paul has also been dedicated to serving the youth of his 
area. Through the many roles and positions that he has held in the 
local chapters of the Boy and Girl Scouts, he has helped to educate the 
youth of his community and instill in them a sense of community service 
and awareness. He has given of his time and knowledge so that young 
people have a greater opportunity of learning the values and skills 
that are needed to succeed. The participants of these programs 
represent the future leaders of our communities, state and country. 
Paul should be commended for his valuable contribution to our future.
  I would like to congratulate Paul on this award. His service to the 
community is one that we are able to share in.
