  Mr. CARTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate 90 years of 
extraordinary service by the Georgetown, TX Noon Lions Club. Throughout 
their history, the Club has helped where help is needed--in their own 
communities and around the world--with unmatched integrity and energy.
  Founded in 1923, the Georgetown Noon Lions Club has made a real 
difference in Central Texas. They've provided generous scholarships to 
deserving high school seniors.

Through the Kid Sight team, they've promoted eyesight health for 
hundreds through regular vision screening events. The Club's 
philanthropy has directly benefited the Boys and Girls Club as well as 
the Texas Lions Camp.
  When the Georgetown Noon Lions Club gets involved, problems get 
smaller and communities get better. The Club continues to fulfill the 
inspiring personal code of Lions Club founder Melvin Jones, ``You can't 
get very far until you start doing something for somebody else.''
  The Georgetown Noon Lions Club's commitment to service reflects the 
best values of Central Texas. I applaud their work and wish them well 
on their 90th birthday and for many years to come.
