  Mr. SPACE. Madam Speaker:
  Whereas, Ron VanVoorhis, initiated East Muskingum Middle School's 
annual trips to Washington, D.C.; and
  Whereas, Mr. VanVoorhis has been responsible for close to 4,000 
students being able to see and experience Washington, D.C.; and
  Whereas, Mr. VanVoorhis has consistently attended each trip, missing 
only one year for the birth of his daughter; and
  Whereas, Mr. VanVoorhis has provided this service without stipend and 
consistently at very low cost, saving each student an average of $100 
per trip; now, therefore, be it
  Resolved, that along with his friends, family, and the residents of 
the 18th Congressional District, I commend Mr. Ron VanVoorhis on his 
service to the East Muskingum Middle School, and congratulate him on 
his 30 years of service in bringing the students of EMMS to Washington, 
D.C. to give them a better idea of what it means to be an American 
citizen.
