                      Thursday, September 12, 2019

  Mr. SCHRADER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate 
the Rotary Club of Salem, Oregon as they celebrate their 100th year of 
service to the Salem community. With nearly 200 members, the Rotary 
Club of Salem has established itself as one of the most distinguished 
community service organizations in my district.
  The Rotary Club of Salem was organized on September 16, 1919. Over 
the last 100 years, the Rotary has strengthened their community through 
their mission of providing service to others, promoting integrity, and 
advancing world understanding, goodwill, and peace through fellowship 
of business, professional, and community leaders.
  The Rotary Club of Salem gives back to the community by sponsoring 
inbound and outbound exchange students, distributing dictionaries to 
4th graders in the Salem/Keizer school district, giving grants to local 
non-profits and by participating in international projects annually. To 
celebrate their 100 years of service, the Rotary will be building the 
Gerry Frank Amphitheater, a multipurpose amphitheater at Salem's 
Riverfront Park to inspire culture and encourage community 
togetherness.
  I would like to extend my congratulations to the Rotary Club of Salem 
as they celebrate their 100th anniversary and thank them for their 
service to the community of Salem.

                          ____________________
