               TRIBUTE TO KIWANIS CLUB'S 40TH ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DAVID E. BONIOR

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 17, 1997

  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in saluting 
the Kiwanis Club of Warren, MI, as they celebrate their 40th 
anniversary on May 9, 1997.
  In 1957, a group of concerned Warren citizens felt there was a need 
to join Kiwanis International and form the Kiwanis Club of Warren. 
Their goal was to aid the public in ways that other charities and the 
Government could not.
  In the past 40 years, the Kiwanis Club has contributed their time and 
resources to the betterment of their community. Among their many 
contributions include the funding of a handicapped fitness trail at the 
Council Park and the donation of a Salvation Army bus. The club has 
also donated funds for thousands of individuals in need of operations, 
utility bills, and handicapped ramps.
  I would like to thank the hundreds of volunteers, past and present, 
who have donated their various talents to improve the quality of life 
in the Warren community. The self-sacrificing qualities of the Kiwanis 
volunteers is what makes our communities successful.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in wishing the Kiwanis Club of Warren 
a joyful 40th anniversary. Their long history of public service is sure 
to last at the very least, another 40 years.
