                  HONORING THE SHREWSBURY ROTARY CLUB

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. JAMES P. McGOVERN

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 14, 2000

  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I wish today to congratulate the 
Shrewsbury Rotary Club of Massachusetts, which is being recognized for 
exemplary involvement in community service. The Shrewsbury Rotary Club 
has been chosen as the 2000 recipient of The Harry Cutting, Jr. Award. 
This award is presented annually by Shrewsbury Community Services to an 
individual or organization that has worked to improve the lives of 
local families. Harry Cutting was a founding member of Shrewsbury 
Community Services and was dedicated to helping families in need.
  The Shrewsbury Rotary Club exemplifies the meaning of community 
service and what Harry Cutting stood for as a member of this community. 
The club is involved on both the international and the local level, 
helping those in need. They have worked in conjunction with the 
University of Massachusetts Medical Center to transport medical 
supplies to Chernobyl and established the first rotary club in Kiev 
where they have formed a partnership and continue to assist those 
citizens in need. On the local level, they support the ecumenical 
council, assist in the local schools, lend a helping hand to senior 
citizens, and provide college scholarships to help local students pay 
for college.
  I have a great appreciation for what this group has done to benefit 
the Shrewsbury community and I am especially proud of their 
accomplishments. Mr. Speaker, I ask that this House join me and the 
members of Shrewsbury Community Services in congratulating the 
Shrewsbury Rotary Club on receiving this prestigious award.
