  Mr. CUNNINGHAM. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to honor Dave 
Kulchin completing his term as the president of the Carlsbad Hi-Noon 
Rotary Club on June 30, 2003. Dave is a dedicated community leader who 
has contributed enormously and made a tremendous difference to the 
Rotary Club and the citizens of Carlsbad.
  Under Dave's leadership, the Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary Club 
accomplished many achievements. They sponsored a Rotary Youth 
Leadership Awareness Conference RYLA, for high school students to 
reinforce ethical values and to train students in the Principles of 
Leadership. The Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary Club provided and delivered 
food, clothing, blankets, and other items to the homeless at the La 
Posada Homeless Shelter in Carlsbad. Also, Dave led the Oktoberfest 
fundraiser which raised over $12,000 for both the Carlsbad Women's 
Resource Center and the Carlsbad Boys and Girls Club.
  In addition to his accomplishments as a Rotarian, Dave Kulchin also 
volunteers his time to serve on the Executive Board of the Carlsbad 
Boys and Girls Club, was past chairman of the Hospice of North County, 
served on the Executive Board of Scripps Hospital, was past president 
and founder of the North County Personnel Association and serves as an 
elected official on the Leucadia County Water District Board.
  I ask my colleagues to join me today in recognizing Dave Kulchin for 
all the dedication and contributions he has made to the Rotary Club and 
the citizens of Carlsbad.
