  Ms. BROWNLEY of California. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize 
the Kiwanis Club of Thousand Oaks on the occasion of its 50th 
anniversary.
   The Kiwanis Club of Thousand Oaks was founded in 1965 and is part of 
Kiwanis International, a global organization of steadfast volunteers 
dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time. 
For five decades, the ever-expanding Kiwanis Club of Thousand Oaks has 
served countless children and has held true to its mission of public 
service. It is through this service to community that the Kiwanis Club 
continues to make the Conejo Valley a better place to live, work, and 
raise a family.
   Over the last half century, the organization has made a concerted 
effort to encourage members of the community of all ages to volunteer. 
With over 100 members across the Conejo Valley region, the Kiwanis Club 
of Thousand Oaks has quickly become an impressive success and annually 
dedicates thousands of volunteer hours to its cause.
   In addition to its invaluable service to the community, the club 
provides support for several youth leadership programs such as KEY 
Clubs in local high schools and service learning organizations at both 
Pepperdine University and California Lutheran University. Furthermore, 
the Kiwanis Club has also focused on the Eliminate Project, an 
international program that works to end maternal and neonatal tetanus.
   For its exceptional work towards building a better community and 
world, I am honored to recognize the Kiwanis Club of Thousand Oaks for 
50 years of service. It is with sincere gratitude that I congratulate 
the organization on reaching this historic and momentous milestone.
