                           HON. JARED HUFFMAN

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 2, 2016

  Mr. HUFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Alan Dunham of 
Novato, California, for his exceptional commitment to public service 
and civic engagement. For nearly 40 years, Mr. Dunham has gone above 
and beyond in his dedication to effecting change in his community, 
serving in numerous leadership positions and volunteering countless 
hours of his time throughout the City of Novato and Marin County.
   The Rotary Club of Novato annually selects a ``Citizen of the 
Year,'' which distinguishes a resident who has given exceptional 
contributions to the city across a number of different areas. Their 
selection this year in Mr. Dunham could not be more fitting.
   Mr. Dunham moved to Novato in 1973, and quickly became involved in 
his new community. He joined the Rotary Club the following year, where, 
along with serving as president for a term, he led several trips and 
projects throughout the decades. For many years, he has been active 
with the Presbyterian Church of Novato, and he regularly volunteers 
with local children and youth.
   Additionally, his talents as an architect have beautified spaces 
throughout the city, including housing projects and gardens for 
seniors, group areas at the Marin county Fair, and the Stafford Lake 
Gate House, among others.
   Mr. Speaker, it is fitting that we honor and thank Alan Dunham for 
his many years of selfless volunteer work and leadership in the North 
Bay. On behalf of the many residents whose lives he's impacted, I am 
privileged to honor and appreciate Mr. Alan Dunham.
