congratulate the Loris

[[Page E1092]]

Civitan Club for being awarded the 2019-2021 Highest Percentage 
Increase Award by Civitan International.
  Founded in 1938, the Loris Civitan Club is one of 1,300 Civitan Clubs 
with over 40,000 members worldwide. It is the oldest civic organization 
in the city of Loris, South Carolina and has provided invaluable 
services for the people there since its inception.
  The club supports the Loris community by working with the local 
school system, supporting organizations that serve children with 
disabilities, providing programs at local football games, and setting 
out American flags on federal holidays.
  Additionally, the Loris Civitan Club has played a large part in 
sponsoring the annual South Carolina Special Olympic Games. I believe 
it is important for the country to continue growing civic organizations 
like the Loris Civitan Club. They work hard every day to ensure that 
those with mental disabilities and the less fortunate in the Loris 
community have the assistance they need to live a fulfilling life. The 
members associated with this club are shining examples of true American 
patriots and amazing role models for the Loris community and the state 
of South Carolina.
  Madam Speaker, I join the people of Loris in congratulating the Loris 
Civitan Club on their momentous achievement. We thank them for the 
selfless actions they have taken to improve the Loris community.
