  Mr. GARY MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure 
that I rise to recognize Kenneth Banks, Jr. of North Hollywood, 
California for his service to the community and this nation. Ken is a 
long time member of Rotary International and is retiring from his post 
as a regional governor for Southern California.
  Rotary International was founded on three key points: Provide 
humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards and build 
goodwill and peace in the world. During his tenure as governor, Ken 
worked tirelessly to promote these principles and encouraged others in 
the community to join him. And he always followed the Rotary motto: 
Service Above Self.
  Ken and his wife, Shirley, have three children and six grandchildren. 
He enjoys spending time with his family and makes that a priority even 
with his demanding schedule. He loves the community that he serves, and 
will continue to serve even in his retirement.
