           HONORING THE GENEROSITY OF THE PEOPLE OF LAUGHLIN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JON C. PORTER

                               of nevada

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 28, 2003

  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank the people of 
Laughlin, Nevada and Bullhead City, Arizona for their generous 
contributions to the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Colorado River. More 
than 400 people gave out of their pockets at the 2003 Margarita Fiesta 
and 10K Giveaway held at the River Palms Convention Center to raise 
more than $24,000 for the Boys and Girls Clubs, a 20 percent increase 
over last year. These funds will be used to give young men and women of 
every background an opportunity to play and learn in a safe, caring, 
environment.
  Once again Laughlin has proven that it is more than just a vacation 
resort, it is also a place to call home. I am honored to represent the 
generous people of Laughlin and look forward to next year's Fiesta.
