                        Tuesday, March 11, 2025

  Mr. SMUCKER. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to congratulate and recognize 
the Ephrata Lions Club of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania for their 
100th anniversary.
  Epitomized by the motto ``We Serve,'' the Ephrata Lions Club has 
dedicated itself to public service since its chartering on February 26, 
1925. Presently led by President Kendra Rhinier, the club consists of 
fifty men and women who work tirelessly to better their community. 
Alongside robust community service programming, such as food drives and 
cleaning trash from highways, the Lions Club gives out around $30,000 a 
year to those in need, as a result, they have raised funds for social 
services, disaster relief, youth programs, and more. The zeal of the 
Ephrata Lions Club is not limited to their town, but has uplifted 
people across the state, the Nation, and the world.
  The Ephrata Lions Club is one of 49,000 clubs across 200 countries 
and regions, and Lions Club International boasts 1.4 million members.
  As the Ephrata Lions Club celebrates this significant milestone, I 
would like to thank the club and its members for their record of 
selflessness. Their efforts have made both Ephrata and Pennsylvania's 
11th District a better place.
