  Mr. CRENSHAW. Mr. Speaker, this past weekend, the Rotary Club of 
Ormond Beach celebrated their 50th anniversary.
  The Rotary Club of Ormond Beach, comprised of business and 
professional leaders who practice ethnical standards in relationships 
in the community, is a dedicated and respected member of the large 
international humanitarian service organization. The members of the 
Rotary Club of Ormond Beach dedicate their time, skills, expertise and 
other resources to help improve the lives of others in developing 
countries by supporting the Rotary Foundation, helping to bring 
families together through its participation in the Children's Grief 
Center, and providing the youth of our community with six academic 
scholarships annually through the Darcy Akers Scholarship fund.
  It is an asset to Ormond Beach to have a group of men and women who 
consistently promote truth, fairness, and try to improve relations 
among citizens in the community. The Rotary Club of Ormond Beach 
provides friendship and fellowship to its members and visiting 
Rotarians and are some of the most active local citizens motivating and 
influencing community leaders through their efforts. The Rotarians of 
Ormond Beach are true citizens of the World and exemplify the motto 
``Service Above Self.''
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the Rotary club of Ormond 
Beach on its 50th Anniversary and commend each of its members for their 
tireless commitment to their local community.
