                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 7, 2014

  Mr. BARLETTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the Penbrook Leo Club 
which is celebrating five years of service to the Harrisburg, 
Pennsylvania community.
   Penbrook Leo Club was chartered in 2009 as a way for teenagers in 
Harrisburg to serve their community through volunteerism. Since that 
time, the members of this organization have engaged in many projects to 
improve the local area. They have helped beautify Harrisburg by 
adopting a mile of the Capital Area Greenbelt, participating in park 
and street cleaning, and maintaining a Memorial Garden at the community 
park. Members actively engage with local residents by visiting nursing 
homes, assisting with holiday parades and dinners, and participating in 
events such as National Night Out. The club has also raised money for 
organizations such as Diabetes Education and Research, the Juvenile 
Diabetes Research Foundation, Lions Clubs International Foundation, and 
the Northeast Pennsylvania Lions Eye. Today, the 20 current members of 
this club continue to find ways to improve lives for the residents of 
South Central Pennsylvania.
   Mr. Speaker, for the last five years, the Penbrook Leo Club has 
served as an invaluable asset to the Harrisburg community. Therefore, I 
commend all the members of this organization that have devoted their 
time and energy to bettering their community.
