                       Wednesday, March 28, 2001

  Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
the St. Helena Rotary Club and its members as they celebrate the 75th 
Anniversary of this honorable organization.
  Throughout its 75-year history, the St. Helena Rotary Club has served 
our community with distinction. Over the last decade, the Club has 
raised over one million dollars for philanthropic purposes in the Napa 
Valley.
  As a native of St. Helena, I have seen first-hand the positive 
contributions the Club has made, especially to the youth of our 
community. Their annual Winter Ball has always been a fabulous event 
that is indispensable in benefiting local organizations like the St. 
Helena Boys and Girls Club and the St. Helena Public Schools' 
Foundation.
  Along with 29,000 clubs in 161 countries, the St. Helena Rotary Club 
and its members have honored the Rotary promise to develop the 
opportunity for service, maintain high ethical standards, apply 
stewardship in personal, business and community life, and to advance 
understanding, goodwill and peace through fellowship and the ideal of 
service.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize the 75 years of immeasurable 
contributions the St. Helena Rotary Club has made to our community.
