           RECOGNIZING MENINAK CLUB OF JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA

  (Mr. RUTHERFORD asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. RUTHERFORD. Mr. Speaker, I recognize the Meninak Club of 
Jacksonville, Florida, which is celebrating 100 years of service and 
camaraderie within our northeast Florida community.
  Meninak members are often leaders of business, military, and civic 
organizations who join together to make a positive impact on others. 
For a century, they have made a difference in the lives of many through 
their annual charity project and numerous scholarships for students, 
including $25,000 in Youth Leadership Grants each year.
  Since 1933, Meninak has also sponsored the Ocean Marathon Swim, a 
3.5-mile swim competition for members of the American Red Cross 
Volunteer Life Saving Corps at Jacksonville Beach.
  Their many charitable works include building affordable homes for 
those in need, working with the Salvation Army during Christmastime, 
and mentoring local disadvantaged folks in Jacksonville.
  I congratulate the Meninak Club for 100 years of ``lending help where 
none is available.''
