  Mrs. CAPITO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a civic 
organization in my district which will celebrate its 50th anniversary 
on May 6, 2008.
  The Bedington Ruritan Club located in Berkeley County, WV, started on 
April 16, 1958 under the guidance of the nearby Marlowe Ruritan Club.
  For half a century now, the Bedington Ruritan Club has served the 
citizens of the Bedington area community. The club takes on many civic 
projects including picking up litter on nearby roadways, sponsoring an 
essay contest and contributing to Bedington Elementary and Potomack 
Intermediate Schools, maintaining the ``Light Ceremony'' in Scrabble, 
and holding fundraisers for various community projects.
  The Bedington Ruritan Club building is located on Route 11 North and 
once a month on Saturday's you can find the Ruritan members serving 
some of the best BBQ chicken in Berkeley County!
  Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the members of the 
Bedington Ruritan Club for 50 years of civic engagement and service. It 
is an honor to represent such a dedicated citizenry in West Virginia's 
eastern panhandle.
