              CONGRATULATING THE COLUMBIA CITY ROTARY CLUB

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. JIM BANKS

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 24, 2019

  Mr. BANKS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Columbia 
City Rotary Club on their 100th anniversary and express my appreciation 
for their hard work in making Columbia City a better place to live, 
work and raise a family. As an organization heavily involved in many 
civic activities, the Columbia City Rotary Club has established itself 
as one of the finest service organizations in northeast Indiana.
  As a native of Columbia City and fellow Columbia City Rotarian who 
once had the honor of serving as club president, this is an 
organization that will always occupy a special place in my heart. To 
this day, I still apply the Four-Way Test when making decisions as a 
lawmaker on Capitol Hill and do my best to live by the Rotarian motto 
of ``Service Above Self.'' I also am constantly reminded of the 
unbreakable friendships and shared civic duty of Rotarians I have met 
along the way.
  Organizations like the Columbia City Rotary Club provide the backbone 
for towns and cities across the country, selflessly taking it upon 
themselves to improve their surroundings and the lives of those around 
them. I could not be prouder to recognize this anniversary and wish 
them only the best in their next century.
