  Mr. LUETKEMEYER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a constituent of 
mine, Mr. Don Boschert, Jr. He is receiving the 2015 Citizen of the 
Year Award from the Greater St. Charles County Chamber of Commerce.
   Mr. Boschert has called St. Charles County home his entire life. 
Since 1978, he has been an Investment Representative with Edward Jones 
in St. Charles.
   During Mr. Boschert's time with Edward Jones, he has been recognized 
as a leader and was therefore named Regional Leader of St. Charles and 
Lincoln Counties from 1998 through 2004, and from 2001 through 2004, he 
served as a General Partner. Under his leadership, Edward Jones was 
able to expand from 19 branch offices to 50 branch offices. Mr. 
Boschert currently serves as a limited Partner for Edward Jones along 
with working with his son, Greg, in the heart of St. Charles.
   The commitment that Mr. Boschert shows to the projects and programs 
of the chamber continue to make the organization stronger. In 1991, he 
served as President of the St. Charles Chamber of Commerce and also 
served as Chairman of the St. Charles County Convention Center and 
Sports Facilities for 3 years. In addition to those office positions, 
Don has served as President of the St. Charles Rotary, St. Peters 
Rotary, and United Services. He has held board positions with Crime 
Stoppers and the Academy of the Sacred Heart Golf Outing Committee.
   His volunteering spirit also positively affects the Boys & Girls 
Club of St. Charles and the Child Welfare Allocation Panel for the 
United Way where he has served as a board member. The River City 
Rascals benefited from his leadership where he was a Limited Partner 
from 1997-2006.
   For 33 years, Don and his wife, Jennie, have enjoyed life together 
in the St. Charles area.
   I ask you to join me in recognizing Mr. Don Boschert, Jr. on this 
2015 Citizen of the Year award from the Greater St. Charles County 
Chamber of Commerce.
