                        Tuesday, March 20, 2007

  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of Dale Lytkowski, 
to acknowledge his extraordinary accomplishments and unparalleled 
leadership of the Cleveland Society of Poles. Since 1923, the Cleveland 
Society of Poles has endeavored to expand awareness of Polish heritage 
through committed civic, social, and philanthropic participation. Under 
the leadership of former President Lytkowski, the Society's role in 
Northeast Ohio has become ever more pertinent to contributing to the 
region's diverse cultural background.
  Throughout his life, Dale Lytkowski has shown tremendous dedication 
to his wife, Dolores, three daughters, and three granddaughters. He has 
demonstrated this same dedication to his community. As a certified 
public accountant, he has been active in guiding numerous professional 
organizations. He held national leadership positions with CPAmerica and 
CPA Vision. As a resident of Southeastern Cuyahoga County, Mr. 
Lytkowski exemplifies civic participation. He has selflessly risen to 
meet the needs of area citizens through his involvement with the 
Marymount Hospital's Board of Directors and Community Advisory Council, 
the City of Independence Planning Commission, the Union Club of 
Cleveland, and the Northeast Ohio Chapter of the National Multiple 
Sclerosis Society.
  Over the past eight years, Dale Lytkowski has served as membership 
committee chairman, treasurer, and vice president for the Cleveland 
Society of Poles. In 1998, Mr. Lytkowski served as 48th president 
during the organization's 75th anniversary. In honor of this momentous 
occasion, Mr. Lytkowski generated $5,000 in support of the University 
of Virginia Kosciuszko Chair of Polish Studies campaign. Currently, 
this program affords students the opportunity to cultivate a deeper 
appreciation for Poland's past, present, and future.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honoring Dale 
Lytkowski, a worthy recipient of the Polish Heritage Good Joe Award. He 
is an incomparable representative of the achievements of Polonia in 
Northeast Ohio. Mr. Lytkowski continues to inspire others through a 
life of integrity, responsibility, and commitment to his heritage.
