   IN THE HONOR OF THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE KIWANIS CLUB OF NORTH 
                              HUDSON, INC.

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT MENENDEZ

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 24, 1997

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a truly 
altruistic organization, the Kiwanis Club of North Hudson, Inc., as it 
celebrates the 75th anniversary of its charter which was signed on 
March 1, 1922. This milestone in the history of the North Hudson, New 
Jersey area will be remembered at a gathering on April 26, 1997 at 
Louis Restaurant in Union City.
  Kiwanis Clubs throughout the United States have a long history of 
service to their communities. The Kiwanis Club of North Hudson is 
certainly no exception. Over the past 75 years, the men and women of 
this organization have endeavored to make the lives of area residents a 
little brighter through their selfless dedication to those in need. 
Their commitment to excellence was cemented with the dedication of 
Kiwanis Plaza on September 27, 1994, located on Bergenline Avenue in 
Union City.
  The Kiwanis Club of North Hudson has made a profound impact on the 
lives of community members fortunate enough to have benefited from its 
charitable endeavors. Municipalities throughout the area have seen 
their residents obtain scholarships and other financial assistance 
through funds raised by the devoted members of this group. The kind 
efforts of Kiwanis Club members will long be remembered.
  The diamond anniversary of the Kiwanis Club of North Hudson 
celebrates the extraordinary contributions of the club's living past 
presidents. A roll of presidents will take place, where all members 
will be honored for their unique contributions to the history of this 
exemplary organization.
  It is an honor to have a notable organization such as the Kiwanis 
Club of North Hudson serving the residents of my district. It is a 
shining example of community service at its best.
