  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, the Rotary Club's motto--Service Above 
Self--is personified by its membership and the causes they support. The 
Rotary Club of Shady Brook is acknowledged as a major, local 
contributor over the past 10 years for raising more than $100,000 for 
worthy causes and donating over 7,500 hours of members' time. The 
Rotary Club is further distinguished by a membership with an average 
age of 75 years, coupled with a lifetime of experience and skills 
generously shared with many benefactors. The list is endless and 
inspiring and includes medical research and prevention programs, meal 
delivery to patients, forums for veterans and their families, time and 
money to the Guardians of the National Cemetery at Washington Crossing, 
the National Guard, books for libraries, clothing and school supplies 
for poverty-stricken children, and participating in Pennsylvania's 
Adopt-a-Highway maintenance program. Heartiest congratulations on the 
10th anniversary of the Rotary Club of Shady Brook, and thank you to 
the founders and members for outstanding contributions to our 
community.
