                       Monday, February 27, 2012

  Mr. STIVERS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and thank Dwight and 
Sharon Poage and the Mayan Families for their extraordinary passion for 
causes that have made enduring positive differences in people's lives 
in the Lake Atitlan region of Guatemala.
  This record recognizes the Mayan Families' strong partnership with 
the Upper Arlington Rotary Club in jointly creating sustainable 
humanitarian focused projects that provide opportunities, hope and a 
future for the indigenous and impoverished people in Guatemala.
  Your commitment to potable water, children and adult nutrition, 
education and improving basic essential living conditions in the 
underserved communities has had a profound impact. On behalf of the 
citizens of Ohio's 15th Congressional District I commend your dedicated 
efforts for the families of Guatemala.
