                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 17, 2007

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize August Gliem of 
Ogden, Iowa, for his longtime service to the International Lions Club. 
Gus was recently awarded the 50- Year Monarch Milestone Chevron Award 
for his 50 years of service to the Lions Club, which began on July 1, 
1957.
  The International Lions Club is a volunteer organization which works 
together to answer the needs that challenge communities around the 
world, including an end to preventable blindness, cleaning local parks 
and providing essential supplies to victims of natural disasters.
  Fifty years of service isn't slowing Gus down, and I am told that he 
is still very active in the Lions Club. I consider it an honor to serve 
Gus in the United States Congress and I know that my colleagues will 
join me in recognizing and honoring Gus' dedication to his community 
and his commitment to the International Lions Club.
