                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 28, 2009

  Mr. SPACE. Madam Speaker:
  Whereas, the 2009 class of Tuscarawas Leadership seeks to encourage 
community service among the county's youth; and
  Whereas, the Pay It Forward Challenge is being held in conjunction 
with Global Youth Services Weekend and the Tuscarawas County United 
Way's Day of Caring; and
  Whereas, the Tuscarawas Leadership has found willing participants in 
each of the county's public school superintendents to allow students to 
take part; and
  Whereas, both adults and youth will be participating in many 
different community service projects across the county throughout the 
weekend; and
  Whereas, research has shown that volunteerism plays an important role 
in shaping skills, social development and a sense of empowerment in 
young people everywhere; now, therefore, be it
  Resolved that, along with the friends and family of the Tuscarawas 
Leadership Class of 2009, and the residents of the 18th Congressional 
District, I commend the Tuscarawas Leadership for leading the way in 
encouraging youth community service involvement, and declare April 24, 
2009 to April 26, 2009 to be ``Tuscarawas County Pay It Forward 
Challenge Weekend.''
