                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 12, 1999

  Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the 75th 
anniversary of the Kiwanis Club of Caldwell/West Essex.
  On April 8, 1999, the Kiwanis Club of Caldwell/West Essex will 
celebrate 75 years of service to the West Essex Community. Since its 
start in 1923, the Kiwanis Club members of this chapter have been 
providing service to the local community. This Club represents a 
larger, international organization that dedicates itself to allowing 
men and women the opportunity to become involved in improving the 
conditions in which we live.
  Currently, the Club participates in various service projects such as 
aiding families during Thanksgiving, contributing to the Kiwanis Oval 
playground, and working toward the beautification of West Essex 
communities.
  In addition to service, and volunteering time, the Caldwell/West 
Essex Kiwanis Club contributes financially to many organizations 
including the Children's Miracle Network, the March of Dimes, Walk-a-
thon, the Battered Women's Shelter, and many other deserving 
organizations. The Kiwanis has continued to pledge its support to the 
prevention of Iodine Deficiency Disorder--the leading cause of 
preventable retardation. This organization has displayed its 
commitments to the youth of West Essex by supporting two little league 
teams, the Caldwell/West Caldwell Soccer Club, and serves as a sponsor 
of local youngsters for federal and state leadership development 
programs.
  Mr. Speaker, for the past 75 years, the Kiwanis Club of Caldwell/West 
Essex has faithfully carried out the objectives of their global service 
organization. They have continued to provide service and support to the 
community in which they work and live. Mr. Speaker, I ask you and my 
colleagues to join me in congratulating all past and present members of 
the Kiwanis Club of Caldwell/West Essex on this special anniversary.
