  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Kiwanis 
Club of Brooksville as it celebrates its 100th anniversary this 
weekend. Service is at the heart of every Kiwanis club, with Kiwanis 
members participating in over 150,000 service projects, devoting more 
than six million hours of service and raising nearly $100 million every 
year in communities around the globe.
  The Kiwanis Club of Brooksville is especially impactful. Under the 
skillful leadership of President Frank Cassara, the Kiwanis Club of 
Brooksville has made immeasurable contributions to the community. In 
addition to raising funds to support countless local charities and 
organizations, the Club sponsors an annual Easter egg hunt and helps 
facilitate the Christmas parade each year. Most recently, the Club has 
been collaborating with the City of Brooksville to build a splash pad 
for Tom Varn Park. The lives of residents throughout Hernando County 
have been improved because of this group's philanthropic approach to 
making a difference of the lives of others.
