                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 17, 2011

  Mr. HENSARLING. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize the outstanding 
service The National Exchange Club provides the citizens of Dallas 
County, Texas.
  The National Exchange Club, a service organization with 700 clubs and 
approximately 22,000 members throughout the United States and Puerto 
Rico will celebrate its 100th anniversary on March 27, 2011. For 100 
years, its volunteer efforts have supported the needs of the country 
and of local communities, making it the country's oldest American 
service organization operating exclusively in this country.
  I would like to specifically recognize the clubs in the Fifth 
Congressional District of Texas--Garland Noon Exchange, Mesquite Noon 
Exchange, Rowlett Noon Exchange, and Lake Highlands Exchange. Members 
of these clubs give countless hours to the prevention of child abuse, 
youth projects, and other community service projects. Exchange Club 
members also promote the American spirit through their core values of 
family, community, and nation.
  This organization provides an invaluable service to those in the 
community who truly need assistance. Over the years, thousands of 
individuals and families have been blessed by the men and women of the 
Exchange Clubs.
  I am pleased today to recognize the Exchange Clubs for their 
contributions to Dallas County. To all the men and women who give of 
their time and efforts so generously, on behalf of all the constituents 
of the Fifth District, I would like to extend our most sincere 
gratitude.
