  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker I rise today to pay tribute to the exemplary 
efforts of Bill Mashaw of Durango, Colorado. Bill has been awarded the 
Community Builder Award by the La Plata County Community Summit 
Coordinating Committee for going far beyond the call of duty. Today I 
wish to recognize the accomplishments and character of this great 
citizen before this body of Congress and this Nation.
  Bill has proven his commitment to the community by organizing the Big 
Brothers, Big Sisters program and through his involvement in the 
Community Development Corporation, which works on affordable housing 
projects. In addition, Bill has served with the Red Cross and the 
Salvation Army and currently serves on the board of directors for the 
Fort Lewis College Foundation. Bill also reaches out to children in the 
Durango area by helping with the D.A.R.E. program, and a number of 
other programs geared towards youth.
  Mr. Speaker, the work of Bill Mashaw has touched the lives of many in 
his community. It is with great pride that I stand to honor a man who 
has lived a life of love, service and passion. I add my voice to that 
of the Durango Area Chamber Resort Association, who has named Bill 
Mashaw both Citizen and Volunteer of The Year. Thank you, Bill, for 
your dedication.
