                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, February 26, 2016

  Mr. KEATING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Samuel and 
Judith Lorusso on being honored by the Falmouth Education Foundation. 
This well-deserved recognition comes as no surprise to those closest to 
the Lorusso family as they have been nothing but a source of positivity 
and strength in the community for decades.
  Mr. Lorusso followed in his father's footsteps in the family business 
when he and his brothers bought his company Hyannis Sand and Gravel, 
renaming it Cape Cod Aggregates Corporation, in 1981. Today, Cape Cod 
Aggregates has six locations across Massachusetts and frequently makes 
generous contributions to local events and organizations, such as 
helping to fund a 4th of July fireworks display.

  The Lorussos have been active members of the Falmouth, Massachusetts 
community, giving back to the education system in the community since 
1980. Mrs. Lorusso discovered her passion for supporting our schools 
and teachers when she began volunteering at Teaticket Elementary 
School. She eventually went on to serve on the Falmouth School 
Committee for one term and as the president of the Teaticket Parent 
Teacher Organization for many years. The Lorussos were also integral to 
the creation of a walking track at Teaticket Elementary as well as a 
greenhouse at Falmouth High School.
  But the Lorussos' dedication of time and resources does not just stop 
with our educators. Mrs. Lorusso serves as a Falmouth Town Hall 
member--sitting on the board of the Falmouth Service Center, as well as 
the Falmouth Chamber of Commerce. And, three years ago, Mr. and Mrs. 
Lorusso cofounded the Falmouth Veterans Day Breakfast to honor the 
service of local veterans through a complimentary reception.
  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to honor Mr. and Mrs. Lorusso for their 
many years of extraordinary service to their fellow citizens and for 
the sterling example they have set for their friends and family. I ask 
that my colleagues join me in congratulating them for being recognized 
by the Falmouth Education Foundation.
