            LA SALLE COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL FATHER/SON BANQUET

 Mr. SANTORUM. Mr. President, I would like to call to your 
attention a special event which will be occurring in Wyndmoor, 
Pennsylvania on Thursday, November 18, 1999. La Salle College High 
School will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of their Father/Son 
Banquet, sponsored by the ``Men of La Salle,'' otherwise known as the 
Father's Club.
  La Salle College High School is a private, independent Catholic 
college preparatory school for young men of varied backgrounds and 
abilities. La Salle is dedicated to providing a challenging and 
nurturing environment for learning, inspired by Saint John Baptist De 
La Salle, and seeks to empower each student to accept responsibility 
and achieve his fullest potential. La Salle is committed to Christian 
values, academic excellence, spiritual fulfillment, cultural 
enrichment, and physical development. The Lasallian experience prepares 
young men who are dedicated to leadership, achievement, and service to 
help build a society that is more human, more Christ-like, and more 
just.
  The Father's Club has a long history of doing good for the La Salle 
College High School and its families. Much of the money raised by the 
Men of La Salle College High School and its families. Much of the money 
raised by the Men of La Salle, for example, goes to help students at La 
Salle who find themselves in financial difficulties as a result of the 
death of an employed parent. This scholarship fund makes it possible 
for students who go through a family tragedy to stay at La Salle, and 
helps to foster a family-like atmosphere. The Father's Club also 
contributes to the financial growth and stability of La Salle, and 
provides a wholesome social climate through its various events and 
activities.
  Once again, I would like to congratulate La Salle College High School 
and the Men of La Salle for the 50th anniversary of their Father/Son 
banquet, and thank them for the great work which they are doing. They 
are a tribute to Pennsylvania and should be recognized as a model 
organization to be emulated.
