Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. FITZPATRICK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize two outstanding constituents from my district, Michael P. Stachel and David Windholz. Since the 1960s, these gentlemen have given their time and financial resources to organize fishing derby events for children, disabled individuals, and seniors throughout our community. They sponsor and run these events at no cost to any of the attendees. The families, children, and the seniors from the local nursing homes and the Veterans home in my district gather to spend the day fishing from a well stocked local pond.

They enjoy free food and refreshments; they are furnished with complimentary fishing gear so they can enjoy a day outdoors with their friends and families. Mike Stachel and David Windholz ask nothing for themselves and provide a joyous and wholesome experience that creates memories that last forever. They have been doing this selflessly for over four decades.

We commend them for their community spirit and their commitment to the families, the children, the disabled, and the seniors of my district. We are proud to salute their efforts to continue to provide these wonderful events for so many generations of my district's residents.
