                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 20, 2004

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize the Lions Club Chapter of Clifton, Colorado on their sixty-
fifth anniversary. Over the years, this organization has provided an 
invaluable service to the community, both socially and 
philanthropically. It is my privilege to acknowledge their service and 
achievements before this body of Congress and this nation today.
  The Lions Club is an international organization that has existed 
since 1917. The Clifton chapter was chartered in 1939 with the purpose 
of creating a social group to serve the community. The primary function 
of the Lions Club is to focus on preventing and fighting blindness and 
helping people with visual impairments improve their quality of life. 
They also work more generally to improve the community in any way they 
can. The chapter is active in the community by holding events that 
attempt to raise the morale in the community by bringing people 
together at carnivals or pancake breakfasts, while at the same time 
raising money for their causes.
  Mr. Speaker, the Clifton Lions Club has dutifully served the Clifton 
community for sixty-five years. Their hard work and dedication makes 
the community stronger. I congratulate the Clifton Lions Club on their 
anniversary and wish them all the best in the future.
