                        Thursday, June 25, 1998

  Mrs. CAPPS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to bring to the attention of my 
colleagues the 20th anniversary of the Santa Maria Lawn Bowling Club. 
The club, which was established in 1978 with a grant from the Joslyn 
Foundation, brings together old and young residents of the Central 
Coast, allows them to participate in one of the oldest known sports.
  The Santa Maria Lawn Bowling Club has more than 100 members and 
participates in intra club tournaments with neighboring lawn bowling 
clubs. It has succeeded in popularizing the sport of lawn bowling in 
Santa Maria, and has enriched the quality of life of this special 
community.
  I ask my colleagues to join with me, the county of Santa Barbara, and 
the city of Santa Maria in commending the Santa Maria Lawn Bowling Club 
on its 20th anniversary.
