  Ms. NORTON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to ask the House of 
Representatives to join me in recognizing Kingman Boys and Girls Club 
for 50 years of service to children and families in the District of 
Columbia.
  For 50 years, Kingman has provided afterschool programming, academic 
and cultural enrichment, and athletic programming to young people in 
D.C. Kingman's staff have worked diligently to provide an atmosphere 
where all young people feel valued and challenged to achieve their 
dreams. Kingman continues to be an active contributor to the lives

of young people and their families, providing a sense of community, 
care and stability.
  We also recognize Aaron ``Cliff'' Webster, the Executive Director of 
Kingman, for over 40 years of leadership. His background managing 
multifaceted programs on a shoestring budget has made him essential to 
maintaining the success of Kingman over the years. Mr. Webster has 
successfully led Kingman through difficult and changing times with a 
commitment to nurturing D.C.'s youth. He has worked to create an 
environment where young people can thrive in their academic and 
athletic pursuits, and we thank Mr. Webster for being a source of 
stability and guidance to all who pass through Kingman's doors. His 
love and dedication for the families of Kingman and the District of 
Columbia make Aaron ``Cliff'' Webster a role model for our children.
  Madam Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to join me in 
recognizing Aaron ``Cliff'' Webster and in congratulating Kingman Boys 
and Girls Club for 50 years of service to children and families in the 
District of Columbia.
