  Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Kiwanis Club of 
Pasadena upon its centennial anniversary.
  Kiwanis International is a volunteer-led global organization 
committed to service and strengthening goodwill. Since its founding in 
1915, Kiwanis has grown to nearly six-hundred thousand members spanning 
across eighty countries.
  The Kiwanis Club of Pasadena was founded in 1920 and is one of the 
oldest Kiwanis Clubs in the world. Their objective is to make the City 
of Pasadena a better place to live and to accomplish their goals 
working together as a team. The club has approximately forty members 
and supports many organizations that help the local community. These 
include Union Station Homeless Services, where club members help 
prepare, cook, and serve monthly meals to the shelter's homeless 
families, Villa Esperanza Services where members assist disabled adults 
in the Pasadena area, through the Aktion Club, and the Salvation Army.
  The club also works with local Key Clubs, which are international 
leadership service programs for high school students, by holding a 
``Career Day,'' allowing Key Club members to visit various businesses 
for a day to learn about different careers. In addition, the Kiwanis 
Club of Pasadena provides annual educational scholarships to 
outstanding students in the Pasadena area and supports the Camperships 
for Kids program for youth to attend summer camp.
  The care, time and energy that the Kiwanis Club of Pasadena has given 
to the community is extraordinary and the residents of the Pasadena 
area have benefitted greatly. I ask all Members to join me in 
commending the Kiwanis Club of Pasadena upon their celebration of one 
hundred years of outstanding service.
