  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with a heavy heart that I rise to pay 
tribute to the life and memory of Kay Hayashi, of Grand Junction, 
Colorado, who passed away recently at the age of eighty-five. Kay's 
extensive involvement with Club 20 has done much for the people in my 
district and for the State of Colorado. As her family and community 
mourn her passing, I believe it is appropriate to recognize the life of 
this exceptional woman, and her many contributions to her community and 
state.
   Kay had been an active member of Club 20 since its founding in 1953, 
an organization dedicated to representing the people of the Western 
Slope at all levels of government. Kay was one of the first members 
awarded Emeritus status to acknowledge her years of commitment to the 
organization. During her years of service, Kay served as Treasurer, and 
was a member of both the Board of Directors and Executive Committee.
   Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to rise before this body of Congress and 
this nation to recognize the life of Kay Hayashi. She dedicated her 
life toward the betterment of her community, state and nation, and she 
will be greatly missed. My thoughts are with her loved ones during this 
difficult time of bereavement.
