           100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE KIWANIS CLUB OF COLUMBUS

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, April 29, 2016

  Mr. STIVERS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize The Kiwanis Club 
of Columbus for celebrating its 100th year of serving the community.
  Kiwanis International is a global volunteer organization with more 
than 8,000 clubs worldwide in over 80 countries. With a focus on 
serving children, members collectively organize nearly 150,000 service 
projects and raise nearly $100 million every year in their communities.
  As the fifth oldest club in the organization, The Kiwanis Club of 
Columbus was founded in 1916 and has been steadfast in its service for 
a century. The Club has been involved in a variety of projects in 
downtown Columbus, ranging from helping the homeless to providing 
scholarships to area students. While many of the members of The Kiwanis 
Club of Columbus are busy professionals, they commit to making time in 
their schedules to participate in these and other service projects, and 
to give back to our great community.
  I would like to thank members of The Kiwanis Club of Columbus, past 
and present, for all they have done, especially for our kids. I also 
would like to congratulate them for reaching their Centennial Year.

                          ____________________
