    RECOGNIZING THE SERVICE TO LOMBARD, IL BY MR. DENNIS McNICHOLAS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. PETER J. ROSKAM

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 18, 2018

  Mr. ROSKAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. Dennis 
McNicholas of Lombard, Illinois on being named the Village of Lombard's 
Senior Man of the Year for 2017. After 41 years of service to his 
community, Dennis is well-deserving of this recognition.
  Since making Lombard his home in 1976, Mr. McNicholas has been an 
integral part of the community. He previously served as President of 
the Lombard Chamber of Commerce and currently leads the Village of 
Lombard's Economic and Community Development Committee. In this 
capacity, Mr. McNicholas works with village residents to expand 
existing businesses, while also recruiting new businesses to the area. 
Recently, the addition of Mariano's grocery store on Roosevelt Road is 
already proving its value to the community.
  It is clear that the Village of Lombard is important to Mr. 
McNicholas, however, his passion for community service is not limited 
to Lombard. In addition to his work for the Village of Lombard, Mr. 
McNicholas leads the village's Rotary Club International Service 
Committee and assists those suffering from natural disasters. After the 
2010 Haiti Earthquake, McNicholas joined with other committee members 
to successfully implement water service projects throughout the 
country.
  Mr. Speaker and Distinguished Colleagues, please join me in 
congratulating Mr. Dennis McNicholas on being named the Village of 
Lombard's Senior Man of the Year for 2017.
