                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 10, 2016

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the exceptional 
volunteer effort of the Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church volunteers, 
led by Dale Huhnke of Muncie, Indiana, on October 24, 2015.
  On this day, known as Make a Difference Day, Dale managed a group of 
church volunteers in an effort to help struggling Muncie families. 
Their targeted acts of giving included everything from providing a 
family a fresh bag of groceries to giving a needed haircut. Dale's 
strong leadership on Make a Difference Day helped more than 180 Muncie 
families enjoy a better and happier quality of life.
  Dale will be recognized for his extraordinary efforts this year at 
the Make A Difference Day National Awards Luncheon on May 12, 2016. 
Each winner is awarded a $10,000 donation to ensure they are able to 
continue their community projects in the future.
  Today, I am proud to thank Dale for his leadership and the Grace 
Evangelical Lutheran Church volunteers for their philanthropic spirit 
and ongoing commitment to improving the lives of Muncie families. I 
hope that fellow Hoosiers will be inspired by Dale to be a force of 
good in their own communities as well.
