                         COLCHESTER LIONS CLUB

 Mr. LIEBERMAN. Mr. President, I rise today to honor the 
Colchester Lions Club of Colchester, CT. On October 30, they will be 
celebrating their 50th anniversary of service to the Colchester 
community.
  The Colchester Lions Club was established on August 2, 1949, and 
through the support of area residents, they have reached out to assist 
many members of the community. The Lions Club has lent its support to 
such worthwhile local causes as the D.A.R.E. Program for schools, 
academic scholarships for local students, and area food banks, and 
senior centers. They also have reached far beyond the Town of 
Colchester by raising funds for organizations such as the Fidelco Guide 
Dog Foundation and Lions Clubs International.
  As the Colchester Lions Club has grown over the years, their numerous 
good works have touched many lives and demonstrated the true value of 
volunteerism. The people of Connecticut thank the Colchester Lions Club 
and all its members for their service, dedication, and contribution to 
our State.
