                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 12, 2008

  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Lin Clark, who has 
been recognized as Citizen of the Year 2008 by the Laughlin Town 
Advisory Board for her outstanding efforts as a citizen within the 
Laughlin community.
  Lin moved to Laughlin, Nevada when the community was less than 20 
years old, and has been a resident for the past 22 years. Since Lin has 
been a resident, she has taken an active role throughout the community. 
Lin is the coordinator for the Laughlin Town Fest event in which she 
dedicates countless hours in successfully organizing the event. She is 
committed to making sure that the event will be enjoyed by everyone 
throughout the community. Along with her husband, Bruce, the Clarks are 
a major part of the success of the bus system's first wine tasting and 
charity silent auction. The proceeds of this event benefits the senior 
citizens' transportation program.
  In addition, Lin is active in Laughlin's Annual Silver Toy Box. She 
donates her time and efforts for less fortunate children throughout the 
Laughlin community by selecting toys and wrapping them, and paying for 
some of the toys out of her own pocket.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Lin Clark. Her efforts in helping 
assist the residents of Laughlin, Nevada are commendable. I 
congratulate her on this prestigious award and wish her continued 
success.
