  Mr. CALVERT. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and pay tribute to 
an individual whose dedication and contributions to Southern California 
are exceptional. Today, I ask the House of Representatives to join me 
in congratulating Marc Aarons on his year as the District Governor of 
Rotary District 5320.
  Marc's Rotary career began in 1997, and since then his involvement in 
the organization has been expansive. Today, he is a member of the 
Rotary Club of Newport Balboa and has been recognized with several 
awards, including the Cliff Docterman Award, for his dedication to the 
organization. Throughout his years of service, Marc has served as the 
Rotary Club of Newport Balboa's Treasurer, Vocational Chair, VP Ethics, 
International Chair, and Immediate Past President.
  His service goes beyond Newport Balboa as Marc has served Southern 
California as Rotary District 5320's District Governor for the 2019-
2020 year. Previously, he was an Assistant District Governor from 2013-
2015 and a member of the District's Advisory Board from 2015 to 2017. 
Marc has also served as a member of the Foundation Committee, the 
Training Committee, and the Membership Committee.
  A proud Eagle Scout, Marc's character and dedication to service have 
been largely influenced by his involvement with the Boy Scouts of 
America. He has received awards and recognition for his service to the 
Scouts around the world, including in Sweden, South Africa, and 
Germany. He also served as the Boy Scout's International Committee 
Chairman for Orange County.
  Marc is a Certified Senior Advisor who has extensively studied the 
financial, physical, emotional, and personal issues affecting today's 
business owners. After living in Japan,

Marc speaks fluent Japanese and has vast knowledge of Japanese culture 
and world markets. Marc is married to Xiaowen and together they enjoy 
serving their community, trying new restaurants and barbequing.
  In light of all that Marc has done for Southern California and Orange 
County, I am honored to recognize him today. Marc has contributed 
immensely to the betterment of our region and our community is proud to 
call him one of our own. I add my voice to the many who will be 
congratulating Marc Aarons on his term as Rotary District 5320's 
District Governor.
