          CONGRATULATING THE ROTARY CLUB OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MARK SANFORD

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, January 23, 2017

  Mr. SANFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Rotary 
Club of Hilton Head Island on its fiftieth anniversary. It is my honor 
to recognize the club and all of its members on this important 
milestone, which marks the lasting contributions its members have made, 
and continue to make, toward the lives of a whole host of people 
through their work, most of whom they will never personally know. They 
range from buying the first ambulance for Hilton Head Island, to 
members providing dental care on trips to Chile and Romania. They have 
raised money and helped with many other local groups, such as the Deep 
Well Project, Happy Feet, and Memory Matters, but my point here is this 
is a group that has consistently done great work for others in our 
community.
   Rotary is a worldwide organization of business and professional 
leaders dedicated to high ethical standards and humanitarian service. 
Approximately 1.2 million Rotarians belong to more than 31,000 Rotary 
clubs located in 166 countries. Since receiving its charter on April 
13, 1967, the Rotary Club of Hilton Head has embraced the high ideals 
of Rotary. The members of the club have developed opportunities for 
service and maintained high ethical standards in business and 
professional ventures, and done countless things to improve the quality 
of life on Hilton Head Island and beyond. With that, I would again ask 
that you please join me in congratulating the Rotary Club of Hilton 
Head Island on its fiftieth anniversary and in wishing its members the 
best of luck as they continue their work and service to others.
