                       Thursday, January 30, 2020

  Mr. KIM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate one of my 
constituents, Max Fisher of Moorestown, New Jersey, for being named as 
his town's 2020 Citizen of the Year.
  Each year, the Citizen of the Year Award is presented by the 
Moorestown Service Council to a resident who through service activities 
has significantly contributed to improving the quality of life of the 
community and their fellow citizens. This year's recipient has not just 
been contributing to his community in the last year, but has been an 
institution of service and volunteerism in Moorestown for decades.
  Max Fisher moved onto Main Street in Moorestown when he was just four 
years old, and he and his wife Beth have lived and raised their 
children here since. Max has been an active member of the First United 
Methodist Church of Moorestown, organizing and participating in over 25 
church mission trips in New Jersey and around the nation, helping to 
rebuild in communities devastated by Hurricanes Charlie, Katrina and 
Sandy. He been a mainstay on the Moorestown Ecumenical Neighborhood 
Development Committee (MEND) for 20+ years, and has been Chairman for 
the past 12 years. He was an original member of the YMCA's Men's 
Service Club, and has been a member of the Moorestown Volunteer Fire 
Department since 1971.
  Max has also run the Taylor Rental Center in Moorestown for the last 
30 years. His generosity has been legendary around Moorestown: Max was 
always quick to lend a hand and say ``yes'' when a service organization 
needed to borrow some of his equipment

for a project. To all that know him, Max is quiet and unassuming; but 
behind the scenes he has been a powerful force for good in Moorestown 
and the surrounding community for years.
  It is a privilege to be able to congratulate Max Fisher as the 
Moorestown Service Council's 2020 Citizen of the Year. I thank Max for 
all the work he has done to improve the lives of those in need, and 
appreciate his relentless dedication to the people of Burlington 
County.
