                        Friday, October 12, 2018

  Mr. COLLINS of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
South Hall Rotary Club for raising over $8,000 for charities in 
Northeast Georgia.
  Rotary International is a service organization whose purpose is to 
bring together business and professional leaders to provide 
humanitarian services, advance goodwill, and promote peace around the 
world.
  During their recent Awesome 80s 5K run, the South Hall Rotary Club 
raised more than $8,000 to support the Relay for Life Hall County, the 
University of North Georgia Food Pantry, and their annual Foster Kids 
of Hall County Christmas Party. More than one hundred runners 
participated in the charitable event. Many of the participants 
celebrated by wearing costumes, neon shorts and leggings, wild colorful 
hairstyles, big glasses, and headbands on race day. Uniformly, however, 
the participants reflected the generous spirit of Northeast Georgia, 
and a strong commitment to serving their community.
  In past races, the South Hall Rotary Club has helped raise funds to 
support new dental equipment for Good News Clinic, Boys & Girls Club, 
and for a new computer lab at the Compass Center.
  I visited with President Renee Carden and the South Hall Rotary Club 
this August and was inspired by their dedication and giving spirit. I 
thank the South Hall Rotary Club for their philanthropic efforts and 
their work to unite the community for good.
