      HARRISONBURG BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS CELEBRATES 25TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. CLINE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Boys & Girls 
Clubs of Harrisonburg in Rockingham County, which will celebrate its 
25th anniversary on December 21.
  Since its founding in 1955, this organization has grown from just one 
location to now more than seven throughout the region. For the past 
two-and-a-half decades, they have worked to ensure children in 
Shenandoah Valley have a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment to 
call home after school.
  They are committed to fulfilling their mission to help mold our 
region's youth into productive, caring, responsible citizens through 
programs focused on academic success, healthy lifestyles, good 
character, and citizenship.
  Serving more than 900 kids annually, ages 5 to 18, for the past 
quarter-century, the positive contribution the group has had on the 
valley's youth is immeasurable.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the organization on its first 25 years of 
success and wish them many more. Our community is forever grateful for 
all they do.
