  Mr. SCHAUER. Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor and congratulate 
Michael W. Dawson upon his recognition as Mason of the Year by the 
Battle Creek Lodge #12 Free and Accepted Masons of Michigan.
  Since being raised a Master Mason in 2005, Mike has served as Senior 
Deacon, Senior Warden and is now serving his second year as Worshipful 
Master. He also has served on the Finance Committee and is active on 
the lodge's MDOT Adopt-A-Highway program.
  Mike is appreciated by other area lodges for his many visits and 
willingness to help in their degree work. He is active in his church 
and serves as a Greeter and Usher. Mike also is a past President of the 
local Optimist Club where he has presented monthly awards to 
outstanding middle school students.
  Mike and his wife, Elizabeth (Betty), are both retired from the 
Federal Government, DOD. It is with deep appreciation of the 
significance of this recognition that I commend Michael W. Dawson upon 
being named Mason of the Year and wish him well in all his future 
endeavors.
