 RECOGNIZING THE GREECE ROTARY CLUB FOR 50 YEARS OF TREMENDOUS SERVICE 
                         TO THE TOWN OF GREECE

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. CHRISTOPHER JOHN LEE

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 21, 2009

  Mr. LEE of New York. Madam Speaker, it is with great pride that I 
rise today to commemorate the Greece Rotary Club for working for the 
betterment of the Greece community for 50 years.
  The Greece Rotary is made up of more than 100 leaders from the 
community who volunteer their time and resources to help others and 
advance goodwill.
  The Greece Rotary Club has undertaken many important volunteer 
projects, including giving out more than 1,600 dictionaries to help 
bolster children's interest in reading.
  The impact of the Greece Rotary has been felt throughout the world as 
well. Last year, the Rotary worked in conjunction with Rotarians in 
Africa to complete two community service projects: donating books to 
Ethiopia and installing clean water systems for elementary schools in 
Nigeria.
  Through its numerous good deeds and unselfish acts, the Greece Rotary 
has made good on Rotary International's mottos of ``Service above 
self'' and ``They profit most who serve best.'' Rotary International 
works to bring business leaders together for humanitarian service 
projects and to build trust, goodwill and peace around the world.
  Thus Madam Speaker, in recognition of 50 years of tremendous service 
to the Town of Greece, I ask that this Honorable Body join me in 
honoring the Greece Rotary Club.
