                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 29, 2000

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to recognize 
the Rotary Club of Snowmass Village Business/Professional Person of the 
Year. Dan Kloster is a businessman who knows how important it is to 
give back to the community.
  The Person of the Year award is given each year to the person who 
best exemplifies the principles of the club. Candidates for the award 
are nominated by either Rotarians or by

a member of the community. This is the first time the award has been 
presented to an active member of the club. Dan is a charter member of 
the Snowmass Club and has served as the club's president in the past.
  Rotary clubs across the world have dedicated their mission to serving 
their local community as well as those areas of the world that are in 
need of humanitarian efforts. The club from Snowmass has been committed 
to serving the international community. Dan has served on the 
International Committee which focuses on projects like going to Africa 
to immunize young people against polio.
  In addition to deeds, Rotary members like Dan try to implement the 
philosophy of the four-way test. This test is to be applied to 
everything in the life of a member. The test is comprised of four 
questions: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build 
good will and better friendships? Will it benefit all concerned? Dan 
tries to be an example when it comes to the four-way test not only in 
the business world, but in his personal life.
  It is with this, Mr. Speaker, that I offer this tribute in honor to 
Dan Kloster. His efforts to make his community, country and world a 
better place deserve our thanks and praise.
