                       Tuesday, January 27, 2015

  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege for me to 
recognize the 100th anniversary of Kiwanis International. Annually, 
Kiwanis clubs in 80 countries raise more than $100 million and dedicate 
more than 18 million volunteer hours to strengthen communities and 
serve children.
   Meeting the needs of children has always been one of Kiwanis 
members' foremost priorities. Under their new motto, ``Serving the 
Children of the World,'' Kiwanis members have helped to establish 
programs that ensure the health and education of young children. In 
Central Florida, Kiwanis members generously give their time and 
resources to provide scholarships and community-building opportunities 
for local students, as well as care for the underprivileged.
   Kiwanis members' commitment to serving their neighbors and the self-
sacrifice that entails represents what is good and noble in our nation. 
There are children and others whose lives have been permanently 
impacted for good by the work of Kiwanis members.
   I am truly grateful for the Kiwanis Club members of Central Florida. 
Our community is stronger, and the future of our youth is brighter 
because of their service.
