  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Rotary Club of 
Burbank upon its centennial anniversary.
  The Rotary Club of Burbank began in 1923 as a local service club that 
provided professional business members with varied backgrounds the 
opportunity to network, exchange ideas and form lifelong friendships. 
Over time, as Rotary's vision gradually expanded to humanitarian 
services, members began to address challenges locally and globally, 
partaking in the weekly Tuesday gatherings where information would be 
shared about community service projects in the city, non-profit 
organizations, and schools.
  Over the years, the Rotary Club of Burbank has been unwavering in its 
dedication to serving people in the Burbank community and beyond. The 
organization has provided humanitarian assistance worldwide, including 
hands-on support and financial aid to seniors and children in Costa 
Rica, Mexico, Peru, and Puerto Rico.
  Local notable organizations that the Rotary Club of Burbank and its 
foundation, the Burbank Rotary Foundation, established in 1980, have 
supported include the Boys & Girls Club of Burbank and Greater East 
Valley, Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center, Home Again Los Angeles, 
and Burbank Temporary Aid Center. Additionally, the club has provided 
abundant support to teachers and students in Burbank through the 
Student of the Month program and the Teachers of Excellence program.
  At its 100-year celebration, the Rotary Club of Burbank will 
recognize two families for their dedicated support. These are the 
Taylor family, which has been active in the organization for decades, 
and is the only family that has had three generations of club 
presidents, Glen, Darrell and Jonathan, and the Rubinfeld family, which 
boasts Nat Rubinfeld as the current longest tenured member of the club.
  It is a pleasure to honor the Rotary Club of Burbank upon their 
anniversary of one hundred years of outstanding and dedicated service 
to the Burbank community and the greater global community. I ask all 
Members to join me in commending their efforts.
