                        Monday, February 2, 2015

  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize 
the Kiwanis Club of Winter Haven, Florida as they celebrate their 80th 
anniversary on April 6, 2015.
   With the assistance of the Bartow and Lake Wales Clubs, the Kiwanis 
Club of Winter Haven was chartered on April 6, 1935. Since its 
founding, the Club has provided educational, community-building and 
recreational opportunities for Central Florida's youth. In 1942, Camp 
Kegan was established on the shore of Lake Josephine. Over the years, 
Camp Kegan has been a destination for Scouts, youth programs and 
underprivileged children. The Club also established a recreation center 
on Lake Maude, which has since been deeded to the city.
   In the spirit of providing educational opportunities for our 
community's students, the Kiwanis Club of Winter Haven supports a 
Student Loan Fund and the Southern Scholarship Foundation of 
Tallahassee to help make college more affordable. The Club's members 
also coach little league teams, partner with children in foster care, 
promote youth agricultural projects and support Key Clubs in local high 
schools.
   I am thankful for the Kiwanis members of Winter Haven for their 
tremendous contributions to our community. The future of our nation is 
in the hands of our youth, and the Kiwanis members' investment in them 
cannot be over appreciated.
