                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. THOMAS M. REYNOLDS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 12, 1999

  Mr. REYNOLDS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the achievements of 
Vincent J. Stanley, Jr., who will be honored on May 18th with the 
Annual Rotary Award of the Rochester Rotary Club.
  Mr. Speaker, Rotary International's motto, ``Service Above Self,'' 
aptly applies to Vince Stanley.
  In addition to his success in business as founder and President of 
V.J. Stanley, Inc., Vince Stanley's leadership and generosity has 
improved the quality of life of countless people in his community.
  Through his work with the Rochester Rotary Club, he has made it 
possible for hundreds of school children to attend summer camp. As a 
former President of the Rochester Red Wings baseball team, Vince 
initiated special handicapped seating within the stadium and continues 
to provide thousands of underprivileged children with tickets to 
baseball and hockey games and LPGA events.
  Vince's generosity aided in the formation of Hope Hall, a school that 
serves children with special learning needs.
  Through his involvement with the National Federation of Independent 
Businesses (NFIB), Vince continues to make a difference for small 
businesses in his community, and throughout our nation.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that this House of Representatives join me in 
congratulating Vince Stanley, on the occasion of his being honored by 
the Rochester Rotary Club with its annual award, and for his continued 
generosity and dedication to community service.
