                HONORING THE ROTARY CLUB OF WESTCHESTER

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. STEVEN T. KUYKENDALL

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 23, 2000

  Mr. KUYKENDALL. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize an important 
organization within my district, the Rotary Club of Westchester. 
Tomorrow the Rotary Club of Westchester will celebrate its 50th 
anniversary as a valuable member of the community.
  For the last 50 years, the Rotary Club of Westchester has provided 
generous support to various programs throughout the community. Its 
members are community and professional leaders who have been active in 
education and literacy, scholarship programs, student exchange 
programs, and book sales to benefit the local region.
  As the Rotary Club of Westchester holds its 50th Anniversary Gala 
this Saturday, Richard Jones will also be celebrating a milestone. Dick 
Jones is the last remaining charter member who is still active in the 
organization, and he has achieved a remarkable 100 percent attendance 
for 49 consecutive years. Dick has helped make the Rotary Club of 
Westchester the fine organization that it is today. He is a Paul Harris 
Fellow, a Westchester Patron, served as rotary president, and is a 
Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. I commend Dick for his commitment 
to the Rotary Club of Westchester and thank him for his service to the 
community.
  I congratulate the members of the Rotary Club of Westchester on 
achieving this milestone. It is a valuable member of the Westchester 
community and its contributions are appreciated. I wish the Club 
continued success for the future.
