             HONORING THE CHARITY EVENT, CRUISIN' MICHIGAN

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. THADDEUS G. McCOTTER

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 4, 2008

  Mr. McCOTTER. Madam Speaker, today I rise to acknowledge an event, 
Cruisin' Michigan, which will be held in Wayne County, Michigan.
  Cruisin' Michigan is a charity event created by Don Nicholson, an 
avid community serviceman. On July 12, 2008, classic automobiles will 
be cruising Michigan Avenue from 12 p.m. until 8 p.m. This is the first 
multi-city Michigan Avenue cruise where classic beauties will be 
traveling through Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, Inkster, Wayne, and 
Westland, Michigan. Cruisin' Michigan will benefit many non-profit 
organizations, the Wayne Rotary Club, service groups and supports the 
City of Inkster's Summer Jazz Festival. This special occasion is 
expected to bring more than 50,000 visitors to the area, which will 
increase the sales for local businesses and stimulate the economy.
  Madam Speaker, Cruisin' Michigan will encourage travel, create 
economic growth, and benefit numerous organizations. This event is also 
expected to promote future charitable events produced by Mr. Nicholson 
including, the Don Nicholson Charity Car Show and EnjoyWayne.com 
Charity Car Show, which raise money for adults with special needs and 
for scholarship funds. Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in 
supporting the Cruisin' Michigan event and acknowledging Mr. Don 
Nicholson for his loyal service to the community and our country.
