             ROTARY CLUB OF LANSING'S 100 YEARS OF SERVICE

  (Mr. BISHOP of Michigan asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BISHOP of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about a 
wonderful organization in my district, the Rotary Club of Lansing. This 
May, the Rotary Club of Lansing is celebrating 100 years of service 
above self.
  The club was founded on May 29, 1916, and has been dedicated to many 
community and international service projects ever since.
  Over the past 100 years, Lansing Rotarians have provided over $2 
million in grants for local and international projects. Such projects 
include the Rotary Veterinary Clinic at Potter Park Zoo, the Hospice of 
Lansing Residential Facility, annual support to the H.O.P.E. 
Scholarship Program for Lansing at-risk youth, and the reconstruction 
of a school in Sri Lanka after the tsunami.
  Lansing Rotarians also support the efforts of Rotary International in 
its fight to eradicate polio throughout the world.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to congratulate the Rotary Club of Lansing 
on 100 years of service. I thank the Lansing Rotarians for their 
commitment to the people and their service to the Lansing community.
