growth of this sport and recreation with this generation as well as the 
generation of our parents and that of our grandparents before;
  Whereas, the Inwood Canoe Club continues to eagerly welcome with open 
arms persons of all ages from different parts of New York City, and 
around the world for over a century;
  Whereas, the Inwood Canoe Club has given New Yorkers a chance to 
discover new activities that enable us to enjoy the natural beauty that 
is such a tremendous point of pride that we all share and are fortunate 
to celebrate with the Inwood Canoe Club;
  Whereas, the Inwood Canoe Club places a priority on community 
engagement and instills a lifelong passion for outdoor recreation 
through programs highlighting water sports to educate the youth about 
the ecology of the Hudson river and the importance of the environment;
  Whereas, the Inwood Canoe Club strengthens community and generational 
ties, contributing to our greater sense of pride in our community;
  Now, therefore I, Adriano Espaillat, Representative of the Thirteenth 
Congressional District of New York in the United States House of 
Representatives, do hereby recognize Inwood Canoe Club on its 116th 
anniversary for its contribution to the Northern Manhattan Community 
and New York City.
