                         Tuesday, April 8, 2003

  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Oak Cliff Lions 
Club. This organization has served the Oak Cliff Community faithfully 
and continually now for seven decades. It is with great pleasure that I 
congratulate them on their 70th Anniversary. I am proud to be a member 
of such an organization, one that promotes education, leadership, 
strong values, and togetherness.
  Lions commit themselves to improving the lives of everyone. They are 
always determined to help the less fortunate, whether they are 
thousands of miles away, or just down the street. Through the Lions 
Club, young people can earn scholarships to participate in both 
international exchanges and community outreach programs.
  Lions Clubs not only promote service to their communities, but to the 
entire world, with over 1.4 million members in 190 countries. In 
today's global society, Lions clubs are perhaps more important than 
ever before. Oak Cliff Lions are looking forward to the challenges of 
today and tomorrow with optimism and unwavering loyalty. Our message is 
simple but clear. We serve.
  Since Lions clubs were established, Lions have been dedicated to 
giving something back, and I am certain that the Oak Cliff Lions Club 
will continue its tradition of selfless service and pride in our great 
community.
