 HONORING CLARE WEBER OF HUDSON, WI, 2015 YOUTH ``PAUL BUNYAN SERVICE 
                         ABOVE SELF'' RECIPIENT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SEAN P. DUFFY

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, August 4, 2015

  Mr. DUFFY. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to stand before you today to 
recognize Miss Clare Weber of Hudson, Wisconsin for her unparalleled 
dedication to serving our community.
  Miss Weber is the youth recipient of the 7th District's 2015 ``Paul 
Bunyan Service Above Self Award,'' which recognizes a constituent who 
takes volunteering to new heights. I am proud to honor this young woman 
for her larger than life dedication to serving our community.
  At just 17 years old, Miss Weber has already spent more than 1,000 
hours volunteering with Youth Action Hudson, a local non-profit: during 
that time she has played a big role in helping feed the hungry through 
both the Empty Bowl project and Hudson Backpack Program.
  However, Miss Weber has also made it a priority to find new ways to 
give back. She recently organized an Operation Christmas Child project 
that collected dozens of gifts for children in Rwanda and Trinidad and 
Tobago and helped raise hundreds of dollars for the American Cancer 
Society.
  From her nominator: ``Since the first time I met her, I have 
continually been impressed and inspired by her dedication to service 
and I am certain that Clare will continue to be a catalyst for change 
in her school, church, and community.''
  Mr. Speaker, please join me today to recognize Miss Weber for 
answering the call to selflessly serve our community.
