                    HONORING KEVIN AND SARAH DIAMOND

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. PETER J. ROSKAM

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 25, 2011

  Mr. ROSKAM. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to recognize 
Kevin and Sarah Diamond of Elmhurst, Illinois, for their outstanding 
display of service.
  On May 5, 2011, Kevin and Sarah were presented with the Elmhurst 
Jaycees Distinguished Service Award. Each year, this award is given to 
a resident in recognition of one's dedication to bettering the City of 
Elmhurst. Typically, the Distinguished Service Award is reserved for a 
single person, but in this case, both were seen as deserving of this 
honor.
  Kevin and Sarah have been involved with numerous improvement projects 
in Elmhurst. In particular, Kevin led the passage of a referendum that 
brought new classrooms to every school in District 205. Kevin is 
especially active with the Elmhurst Children's Assistance Fund, which 
provides assistance to families with children impacted by a serious 
medical or disabling condition. Sarah serves on the board of the local 
YMCA and has assisted with the organization's fundraising efforts. She 
previously served on the District 205 Foundation Board, and has 
recently joined the Hospital Board. In addition to participating in all 
these volunteer activities, Kevin and Sarah are also busy raising three 
daughters.
  The Diamonds have demonstrated exceptional civic service, and I am 
proud to represent them. Mr. Speaker and Distinguished Colleagues, 
please join me in commending Kevin and Sarah Diamond for their 
extraordinary commitment to their community.
