  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Assistance League 
of Glendale upon its seventy-fifth anniversary.
   The Assistance League of Glendale began with a small group of women 
dedicated to performing selfless acts for the local community and has 
since developed into a multifaceted philanthropic organization targeted 
at providing aid to women, men and children in need of guidance, 
assistance and care. The members work to ensure that the needs of 
children and seniors in Glendale are met with care and respect, and 
dedicate thousands of hours to improve the city.
   Committed to promoting education and enriching the lives of 
students, the Assistance League of Glendale provides clothing to 
elementary school children in need, reading support and books, as well 
as thousands of dollars in scholarships for students graduating from 
high schools and college in Glendale.
   In addition to its exceptional work for young students, the 
Assistance League of Glendale provides social programs and meals for 
seniors, weekly training for developmentally challenged adults to learn 
vocational skills, and quality pre-owned merchandise as well as 
clothing at affordable prices.
   This volunteer-driven organization continues its mission to assist 
and uplift as it strives to address the increasing needs of the 
community with innovative, dynamic and creative philanthropic programs 
that promote emotional and physical well-being, and over the years has 
evolved to meet the shifting needs of the community.
   The Assistance League of Glendale serves as a brilliant example of 
the power of volunteerism and what people can do when inspired to 
connect with others in the spirit of humanitarianism. The time, effort, 
and care that the organization has given to the community is 
outstanding, and the residents of Glendale and the greater Los Angeles 
area have benefited greatly from their work.
   I ask all Members to join with me in commending the Assistance 
League of Glendale for seventy-five years of dedicated, outstanding and 
invaluable service to the community.
