                    YAKIMA ROTARY 100TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. NEWHOUSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Madam Speaker, ``Service Above Self,'' that is the 
motto of the more than 33,000 Rotary clubs and 1.2 million Rotarians 
worldwide who provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance 
world understanding, goodwill, and peace.
  Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor 100 years of the Yakima Rotary 
Club. From the early days in 1919, when the Yakima Rotary Club helped 
to install street signs within the city limits of Yakima to help guide 
the way for residents and visitors alike, to the $22 million YMCA and 
Yakima Rotary Aquatic Center that just opened last month, Yakima 
Rotarians ``always say yes.''
  Be it from supporting children's health, literacy, and hunger to 
promoting our parks and public spaces and awarding thousands of dollars 
of academic scholarships every year, their volunteerism, fellowship, 
and deep love for our community has made a deep and lasting impact on 
the greater Yakima Valley.
  Congratulations on 100 years of ``Service Above Self,'' Yakima 
Rotarians, and enjoy what I have no doubt will be the greatest party 
ever.
