On the recordDecember 7, 2010
I can't help but emphasize that Rotary International was founded in the great State of Illinois, in Chicago, in 1905; and it is the world's first service club and one of the largest nonprofit service organizations. Its motto, ``Service Above Self,'' helps encourage members provide humanitarian aid, meet high ethical standards and promote international goodwill and peace. We salute all members of Rotary International for their great civic works as they celebrate this anniversary. I thank the gentleman from Texas for sponsoring this resolution. I urge all Members to join in support of the resolution.
