                       Tuesday, February 24, 2015

  Mr. ROSKAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the 60th 
anniversary of the incorporation of Rolling Meadows, Illinois.
  From its early origins, Rolling Meadows has been a model for other 
cities and towns to follow, through its continued dedication to 
building a friendly and welcoming community for residents and visitors 
alike.
  In the years since its founding in 1955 by Orrin Ford, Rolling 
Meadows has become a center of culture and commerce, serving as a home 
to families, businesses, professionals, churches and organizations that 
have made this a vibrant and thriving community. Over the years, 
Rolling Meadows has developed a well-deserved reputation as a wonderful 
place to live, work and raise a family.
  Rolling Meadows has a lasting legacy of service and prosperity. On 
this special occasion, in addition to celebrating the incorporation of 
their town, the community will also be honoring 60 original residents 
and two local businesses that have operated for the entirety of the 
last 60 years. This impressive milestone is a testament to the strong 
foundation built at Rolling Meadows' founding and maintained still 
today.
  Mr. Speaker and Distinguished Colleagues, please join me in 
recognizing the 60th anniversary of the incorporation of Rolling 
Meadows, Illinois and wishing her residents a very successful year 
ahead.
