                       Monday, September 10, 2018

  Mr. NEAL. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize and congratulate the Ludlow Lions Club on the occasion of its 
75th anniversary. As the world's largest service club organization, 
Lions Club International is full of members who volunteer their time to 
humanitarian causes, fundraising projects, and service endeavors not 
only in their local communities but also around the globe. The Ludlow 
Lions Club, chartered in 1943, certainly embodies this commitment to 
helping those in need, wherever need exists.
  The Ludlow Lions Club is one of the busiest clubs in Massachusetts 
and currently has over 30 members who give their time freely to help 
others. Their leadership, dedication, and exemplary character is 
undoubtedly worthy of

recognition. Over the past 75 years, the Ludlow Lions have devoted 
themselves to a near countless number of diverse ventures and 
fundraisers, including annual food drives, college fundraisers, 
diabetes awareness campaigns, environmental conservation activities, 
emergency sight and hearing projects, and various youth development 
programs like the Peace Poster Project to just name a few. It is 
evident that the Ludlow Lions Club has made numerous positive 
contributions to the community of which it takes pride in being an 
integral part. I am confident that they will continue to serve and 
represent western Massachusetts with honor and distinction for years to 
come.
  Mr. Speaker, over the course of its history the Ludlow Lions Club has 
truly embodied the motto ``We Serve.'' Its loyal members have routinely 
demonstrated an exceptional commitment to helping those less fortunate. 
That passionate dedication is a hallmark of the agency's long and 
admirable tradition of service in western Massachusetts. On the 
occasion of the Ludlow Lions Club's 75th anniversary, I wish the 
organization and its devoted members all the best and much continued 
prosperity.
