                        Wednesday, June 10, 2015

  Mr. LANCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the Rotary Club of 
Hillsborough for 60 years of tremendous humanitarian service. Rotary 
has been a major part of community life in Hillsborough.
  Rotary International is a global network of community volunteers with 
reach and influence across many spheres of interest, from service and 
volunteerism to promoting public health education. Rotary is one of the 
largest and most influential international service organizations 
worldwide. Rotary members, from New Jersey to the developing world, 
conduct projects to address today's humanitarian challenges, including 
illiteracy, disease, hunger, poverty and lack of clean water while 
encouraging high standards in all vocations. Rotary members strive to 
build goodwill and the members of the Rotary Club of Hillsborough are 
known ambassadors for dedicated public service.
  The Rotary Club of Hillsborough has accomplished numerous projects to 
improve the lives of individuals needing assistance. Through annual 
fundraising events and community building activities, Rotary outings 
have assisted the Hillsborough Food Pantry, Homes For Hope, veterans 
services, families, those with special needs and projects in the public 
schools. Rotary has played a role in making Hillsborough what it is 
today--a wonderful place to build a life, raise a family and retire.
  Service above self is vital to Rotary and the members of the Rotary 
Club of Hillsborough have for 60 years been a pillar of community 
spirit in Hillsborough.
