      100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ROTARY CLUB OF LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA

 Mr. CASSIDY. Madam President, the Rotary Club of Lafayette 
will turn 100 years old in 2020. I would like to share with you some of 
the accomplishments of the club since its founding in 1920. Early in 
their history, they underwrote the election to fund the first public 
library, they helped to establish One Acadiana and started the first 
Lafayette Boy Scout troop. In addition to establishing Rotary Park in 
the 1980s, they currently fund annual scholarships for local students, 
coordinate food drives for FoodNet, and support Rotary's mission to 
eradicate polio worldwide, in addition to supporting other local 
charities.
  Congratulations to the Rotary Club of Lafayette on this historic 
achievement. I wish you all the best of luck in years to come.
