                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 18, 2008

  Mr. AKIN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the St. 
Louis Kiwanis Club on their 90th anniversary. The St. Louis Kiwanis 
have been providing community service since 1918.
  The Kiwanians have one common goal: To serve the children of the 
world. Kiwanis advocates this vision everyday by providing 
opportunities to serve for every member of a community through Service 
Leadership Programs. Through these opportunities, youth and young 
adults around the world become competent, capable, and compassionate 
leaders.
  The St. Louis Kiwanis have served their community in many ways, 
including supporting local charitable organizations including, but not 
limited to: The Boys and Girls Club of St. Louis, Kiwanis Camp Wyman, 
Key Clubs, and the Kiwanis Children's Dental Foundation Mobile Clinic. 
They serve by providing manpower at local events and promoting other 
children's related causes.
  The Kiwanis have reached out to their fellow citizens in need and, in 
the process, have enriched their own lives.
  I want to congratulate and thank the St. Louis Kiwanis for the time 
and service they dedicate to the Second District of Missouri and the 
people of the United States.
