  Mr. McCOTTER. Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor and acknowledge 
the Western Wayne County Conservation Club, a group dedicated to the 
preservation and continuation of outdoor sporting for all generations, 
upon reaching their 70th anniversary of the club's establishment.
  The Western Wayne County Conservation Club provides many services to 
the Michigan community. The Club has created more opportunities for 
outdoor sporting with their sponsorship of a launching trap and skeet 
fields, a 3-D walk-thru archery range, and a black powder group with a 
walk-thru range. Additionally, The Wayne County Conservation Club has 
fundraisers for the Pinkerton School for the Blind, the Rouge River 
Clean-up, hunter education classes, Girl Scout and Boy Scout camping 
activities, and for the University of Michigan Burn Center.
  The Western Wayne County Conservation Club has been recognized for 
their dedication to outdoor sports. The Club has received prominent 
awards including the President's Award from the National Wildlife 
Federations, North American Hunter's Safety Award, and the National 
Rifle Association President's Award. To the Michigan community, the 
Wayne County Conservation Club is an organization dedicated to their 
goals, committed to serving their community and defending Americans' 
Second Amendment Rights.
  Madam Speaker, the Western Wayne County Conservation Club is a group 
which has mastered outdoor sporting and has excelled in using their 
mission to help other community organizations. I ask my colleagues to 
join me in congratulating the Western Wayne County Conservation Club 
for reaching 70 years as an organization and honoring the group's 
devoted service to the community and our country.
