                        Wednesday, June 2, 2004

  Mr. McCOTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge and honor the 
Village of Wolverine Lake, Michigan on the occasion of its 50th 
anniversary. Incorporated on April 5, 1954 under the State of 
Michigan's long tradition of Home Rule, the Village of Wolverine Lake's 
caring citizens, diligent community leaders, superior schools, and 
vibrant economy accumulate and constitute an exceptional civic life for 
its citizens.
  The Village of Wolverine Lake's rich history dates back to 1919, when 
Dr. Howard Stuart's efforts led to the construction of a dam connecting 
several area lakes to form Wolverine Lake. Local residents then 
established the Consolidated Subdivision of Wolverine Lake Neighborhood 
Association to maintain and protect the beauty of Wolverine Lake. The 
Village of Wolverine Lake has now grown to a population of more than 
4000 residents. Undoubtedly, the Village of Wolverine Lake will 
continue to fulfill its promise of boundless opportunity and beauty for 
its people.
  Mr. Speaker, today I ask you and my esteemed colleagues to please 
join me in congratulating the Village of Wolverine Lake on their very 
special anniversary.
