                        Tuesday, October 6, 2015

  Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Chambersburg 
Noontime Lions Club on the occasion of its 90th year of service to the 
Chambersburg community.
   The Chambersburg Noontime Lions Club is one of the oldest of 46,000 
Lions Club International chapters in operation today. Since the club 
was chartered in 1925, its members have included a diverse group of 
individuals united in their passion for community service. In that 
time, hundreds of men and women have lent their time and talents to 
improve the quality of life throughout the Chambersburg area. The 
Noontime Lions Club continually invests in the organizations that have 
the greatest access to areas of high need in the community, with 
resources going to Meals on Wheels, Easter Seals, Little League, Girl 
Scouts, and more.
   Although they tackle a breadth of community concerns, they focus the 
majority of their efforts on eyesight preservation projects. As such, 
the Noontime Lions Club frequently offers eye exams, assists in the 
purchase of eyeglasses, and maintains active partnerships with 
organizations such as Leader Dogs for the Blind and Beacon Lodge. As an 
example of their generosity, the Chambersburg Noontime Lions Club has 
previously assisted a local family by funding much needed surgery for 
their seeing-eye dog.
   Though much has changed throughout Chambersburg in the past ninety 
years, the commitment of Noontime Lions Club has remained steadfast, 
serving the needs of the local community. I am grateful for their 
contributions throughout Pennsylvania's 9th district and would like to 
thank all who have helped the organization reach this momentous 
milestone of 90 consecutive years of service.
