                  HONORING THE GARDEN GROVE ELKS CLUB

  (Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor 
the Garden Grove Elks Lodge 1952 for their contributions to my 
community of Garden Grove, California.
  The Garden Grove Elks Club is just one of thousands of Elks chapters 
across this Nation. They operate on the ideals of charity and 
patriotism, contributing to schools, police and fire departments, and 
also working with their youth in their community.
  The Elks Club consists only of volunteers, those citizens who strive 
to make a difference based solely on the goodness of their heart.
  I would also like to recognize Elks Lodge 1952's newly installed 
officers: Dave Offhaus, Dave Skelton, Gary Mueller, Randy Barrows, Lynn 
Johnson and Jim Faulkner. I wish these new officers much luck in the 
coming year, and I would also like to extend my appreciation for all 
that they do for our community.
