                          Friday, June 1, 2012

  Mr. McNERNEY. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to ask my colleagues to join 
me in honoring the Kiwanis Club of Stockton on the occasion of its 90th 
anniversary.
  The Kiwanis Club of Stockton was first chartered in 1922. It is a 
part of Kiwanis International, a global organization that is 
represented around the world. Kiwanis International works to make a 
difference in children's lives by providing grants to local Kiwanis 
clubs that benefit community projects, scholarships to high school 
students, and youth leadership programs.
  In my district, the Kiwanis Club of Stockton works tirelessly to 
support the youth of the Stockton area. One of the chief ways the 
Kiwanis Club assists students is through its High School Scholarship 
Program. Each year, the club awards accomplished high school seniors 
with funds to help support their college educations. The Kiwanis Club 
promotes the well-being of children in the community by donating ``wish 
list'' items to the St. Mary's Service Center in Stockton and by 
hosting an annual clean up day of Pixie Woods, a local children's park 
in Stockton.
  I commend the Kiwanis Club of Stockton for its outstanding service 
and I have no doubt that its efforts have made, and will continue to 
make, a positive impact on the lives of many children and families 
throughout our community. I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring 
the Kiwanis Club of Stockton on the occasion of its 90th anniversary.
