                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 5, 2008

  Mr. ENGLISH of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, today I rise to 
congratulate the members of the Harrisville Lions Club as they 
celebrate their 60th anniversary this year.
   For over half a century, the Harrisville Lions Club has been 
dedicated to helping the less fortunate. As a Lions Club, the 
organization is part of the world's largest service organization with 
over 1.3 million members worldwide.
   They have provided aid for those in need, whether it is helping 
local residents obtain eyeglasses or assisting families after 
disasters. The Club has been involved in several children's programs, 
including supporting a camp for local blind children and sponsoring a 
drug poster program aimed to raise awareness among elementary students 
of the problems associated with drug use.
   I commend Harrisville club president, Lion Connie Rider, for her 
leadership and dedication to the organization. I'd also like to 
recognize Lion Leroy Montgomery, who at the age of 99, remains a very 
active member of the Harrisville Lions Club. I applaud Mr. Montgomery 
for his lifetime of dedication to helping the less fortunate in his 
community. His efforts have certainly not gone unnoticed.
   I hope my colleagues will join me at this time in recognizing the 
accomplishments of these individuals as well as all of the other 
members of the Harrisville Lions Club. Congratulations on 60 years of 
service.
