  Mr. CAMP. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the Frankenmuth 
Rotary Club in commemoration of the group's 75th anniversary.
   The Frankenmuth Rotary Club began operations on April 21, 1939, with 
a goal of gathering community leaders to provide humanitarian services 
to those in need--from the local to the international scale. Over the 
past 75 years, the members have continued to promote a high moral 
standard in the community while providing assistance with philanthropic 
projects.
   The club began as a small gathering of 35 charter members. Today, 
the club boasts over 125 members. Over the course of the club's 
presence in Frankenmuth, various projects helped change the landscape 
of the community. On multiple occasions, the club has collaborated with 
area foundations and businesses on building projects, maintenance 
funds, and renovations throughout the community. These endeavors have 
emphasized the club's passion for growth and goodwill in Frankenmuth.
   In addition to supporting local events and activities every year, 
the Frankenmuth Rotary Club has supported international service 
programs; each with a specific cause tailored to the project involved. 
The club has conducted philanthropic work in Brazil, the Dominican 
Republic, India, and South America. These projects have provided 
beneficial services such as clean drinking water pumps, school facility 
improvements, and dental work for those in need. Through these efforts 
to improve communities and lives both locally and abroad, the club has 
served as a model for humanitarian action.
   On behalf of the Fourth Congressional District of Michigan, it is 
with great honor that I commemorate this 75th anniversary of the 
Frankenmuth Rotary Club. I offer my sincerest thanks for all that the 
organization has done and all that it will continue to do in the 
future.
