  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, today I honor the 125th Anniversary of York 
Lodge No. 213, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. Since its 
founding on July 10, 1891, the Lodge has made immeasurable 
contributions to the welfare of our community through countless civic 
and charitable endeavors.
   Whether providing college scholarships to local students, back-to-
school programs for the children of homeless Veterans and students 
living in impoverished areas, drug awareness efforts and many other 
activities, Elks Lodge No. 213 has served/continues to serve the people 
of York and the surrounding region. York Lodge No. 213 steadfastly 
embodies its mission to inculcate the principles of charity, justice, 
brotherly love and fidelity.
   On behalf of Pennsylvania's Fourth Congressional District, I'm proud 
to have this organization in our District and congratulate its Members 
on the 125th Anniversary of the York Lodge No. 213, Benevolent and 
Protective Order of Elks.
