                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 24, 2017

  Mr. ROSKAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Dundee 
Township Lions Club from the Sixth Congressional District of Illinois. 
In June, the club celebrated its 80th Anniversary.
  In the years since its humble founding in 1937, the Dundee Township 
Lions Club has become a champion of civic service, serving as a home to 
members who strive to create a vibrant and thriving community in West 
Dundee and the greater Kane County area. Over the years, the Club has 
contributed finances, time and talent to hundreds of community projects 
including the creation of pavilions at Randall Oaks Park, the first 
washrooms at South End Park, the Dundee Township Library room, and 
many, many more.
  From its early origins in the Township, the Lions Club has been a 
leader in community outreach and service, as well as an organization 
for other service organizations and community outreach organizations to 
follow. Through its continued dedication to building a friendly and 
welcoming environment, the Dundee Township Lions Club has built a 
reputation as an organization where all walks of life can come together 
to serve the less fortunate.
  Mr. Speaker and distinguished colleagues, please join me in 
recognizing the occasion of this 80th Anniversary. We join together to 
honor the Club's legacy of growth and prosperity, and to look ahead to 
the opportunities the future hold for the Dundee Township Lions Club.
