                50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE YALE LIONS CLUB

 Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, today I rise to celebrate a 
momentous occasion for Lions Club of the City of Yale, Michigan. On 
Saturday, February 14th, the Yale Lions will commemorate their 50th 
anniversary. I am pleased to have the opportunity to offer my 
congratulations for this auspicious event.
  The Lions Club is dedicated to community service, and for half a 
century Yale Lions have worked to benefit the entire City of Yale. At 
the crux of membership in the Lions Club is the desire to help fellow 
citizens, and their shining examples of service have been displayed to 
the whole community. Consequently, tremendous growth has occurred and 
membership continues to expand, with the number of members nearly 
tripling since the Club was founded many years ago. The strong 
commitment to helping other individuals is outstanding, and I commend 
each member of the association for all their tireless efforts.
  Again, I wish to express my warmest wishes for a successful event. I 
thank the Lions Club of Yale for their ceaseless commitment to their 
community, and wish the organization a bright future.
