  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, today, I celebrate the significant 
contributions of Orlando Elks Lodge to the Central Florida region. 
Starting in New York City, The Elks organization has grown to over 
1,900 lodges throughout the United States and Canada. The Orlando Elks 
Lodge was established in 1907 and is now celebrating over 100 years of 
service.
  Every year, the Orlando Elks Lodge spends over $50,000 on programs 
that benefit special needs children, nourish our marginalized 
communities, and support our veterans. They also contribute 
significantly to the Edgewater Children's Ranch to help children from 
the Central Florida community who come from vulnerable homes.
  The Elks remain steadfast in their founding principle of charity, 
justice, brotherly love, and fidelity. I thank Orlando Elks Lodge for 
their century-long dedication and service. Their contributions make a 
profound difference in our community, and we are grateful for their 
support and commitment to make Central Florida a better place for all.
