                    HONORING THE ROSELLE LIONS CLUB

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. PETER J. ROSKAM

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 23, 2009

  Mr. ROSKAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 75th 
anniversary of the Roselle Lions Club in my Congressional District. On 
April 26, 2009, the Roselle Lions will mark more than 75 years of 
dedicated community service.
  Through the years, the Lions Club has been instrumental in aiding 
those with hearing and vision impairments by providing members of the 
local community in need with hearing aids, glasses, and support groups.
  With local events like The Lions Carnival, National Night Out, and 
the Children's Christmas Party, the Lions Club has raised funds for 
these worthy causes and provided a fun and safe environment for 
families to spend time together. The extent of the Roselle Lions' 
dedication and generosity can be seen in the countless library, school, 
and civic projects they have supported financially, and with their time 
and energy.
  Madam Speaker and Distinguished Colleagues, the Roselle Lions Club 
has worked tirelessly to make their local community a better place to 
live, work and raise a family. They have brought compassion to those in 
need and been a tremendous asset to the citizens of Roselle.
  Please join me in recognizing the impressive work of the Roselle 
Lions Club, and wishing them every success in their next 75 years of 
fellowship and service.
