      CONGRATULATING CLARION KIWANIS CLUB ON ITS 100TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate the Kiwanis Club of Clarion, Pennsylvania, on their 100th 
anniversary.
  Since the club's founding on December 16, 1922, the members of the 
Kiwanis Club have been a crucial part of the community in Clarion.
  The Kiwanis Club is an international organization of volunteers that 
strives to serve the needs of children. The Kiwanis Club has over 
550,000 members internationally and seeks to help children by fighting 
hunger, improving literacy rates, and improving children's health and 
educational outcomes.
  Across the world, Kiwanis Club members have taken part in over 
150,000 service projects to benefit communities and to help make them 
better places to live.
  Today, the Clarion Kiwanis continue to carry out the club's mission 
of giving back to the community by hosting regular fundraisers to 
benefit children and providing an annual scholarship for students in 
Clarion County.
  Please join me in congratulating the Clarion Kiwanis Club on 100 
years of service and thanking them for their many years of giving back 
to Clarion County.
