CONGRESSIONAL RECORD STATEMENT HONORING 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE WARREN 
                              KIWANIS CLUB

 Mr. LEVIN. Mr. President, I rise today to salute the Kiwanis 
Club of Warren, MI, for its 40 years of service to the Warren 
community.
  In 1957, a group of concerned businesspeople, professionals, and 
citizens formed the Kiwanis Club of Warren to help meet the needs in 
their community which were not being addressed by government or 
charities. Since its beginning, the Warren Kiwanis has provided 
numerous services to people in need, including persons with 
disabilities, senior citizens, and people requiring medical care. The 
Warren Kiwanis donated a bus to the Salvation Army, funded a fitness 
trail at a local park for disabled people, and have helped to pay for 
thousands of operations, utility bills, and ramps for people with 
disabilities.
  The recent Presidents' Summit on Volunteerism drew the Nation's 
attention to the importance of giving back to our communities. The 
people of Warren, like those in so many communities throughout the 
country, are truly fortunate to dedicated Kiwanis Club members as their 
neighbors.
  I hope my colleagues will join me in expressing congratulations and 
gratitude to the Kiwanis Club of Warren for their 40 years of good 
works.
