                  HONORING ATLANTIC COUNTY 4-H PROGRAM

  (Mr. VAN DREW asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, since its start in the 1940s, the 
Atlantic County 4-H program has encouraged young people from all 
communities and backgrounds to immerse themselves in areas of science, 
health, agriculture, and civic engagement.
  The Atlantic County 4-H program is one of the longest running 
programs in the country and teaches valuable life skills to youth in 
grades K-13. Through 4-H, these young people are engaged in a variety 
of hands-on projects from livestock to computer science, from gardening 
to expressive arts.
  These experiences, of course, could not be possible without the help 
of volunteers. We are honored to have over 40 volunteers in Hammonton, 
among many others, and I want to particularly thank a few members of 
the community who have dedicated many years of service and of their 
time and expertise to this program.
  Thank you to Kathleen Einwechter, who has been volunteering for 25 
years.
  Thank you to Al Schollenberger, who has been volunteering for 45 
years.
  And thank you to Dorothy Calimer, who has been giving her time and 
care to this program for 50 years.
  You and all of our community flourish, and I am excited to celebrate 
you today. I am excited about your work, about your volunteerism, and 
about the difference that you make.
