                     Wednesday, September 15, 2010

  Mr. ROSKAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize September 15th 
2010, as Literacy Awareness Day in Wheaton, Illinois, in the heart of 
my Congressional District.
  Literacy Awareness Day is an initiative of the non-profit group 
Literacy DuPage. Literacy DuPage reaches over 30 communities in DuPage 
County. The group's mission is to change the lives of future 
generations by providing one-on-one English literacy tutoring for 
adults. To celebrate Literacy Awareness Day on September 15th, 
participating Wheaton businesses will donate a portion of their sales 
to help fund the group's literacy programs.
  Today, we join together to celebrate Literacy Awareness Day and the 
growth and continued good works of Literacy DuPage.
  Madam Speaker and Distinguished Colleagues, please join me in 
recognizing September 15th as Literacy Awareness Day in Wheaton, 
Illinois, and in wishing Literacy DuPage continued success.

                          ____________________
