  Mr. SPACE. Madam Speaker:
  Whereas, the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program collects 
toys every year for distribution to underprivileged children during the 
holiday season;
  Whereas, since its founding, the Toys for Tots Program has 
distributed more than 400 million toys to more than 188 million 
children;
  Whereas, the Carroll, Harrison, and Jefferson County Toys for Tots 
Organization served 2,656 children in 2009 under the leadership of 
Deborah Oberlin;
  Whereas, the Toys for Tots Program considers a number of factors in 
selecting a National Coordinator of the Year, including the number of 
children reached relative to the community population and the spirit of 
teamwork demonstrated by the organization;
  Resolved that along with the residents of the 18th Congressional 
District, I commend Deborah Oberlin on being selected as the National 
Coordinator of the Year for the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for 
Tots Program for 2009, and for her hard work serving the children of 
Ohio through this outstanding organization.
