                         HON. ROBERT J. WITTMAN

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 26, 2019

  Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, I am honored to use this time to 
recognize the Lions Club of Montclair, Virginia. The club will 
celebrate their forty-first year anniversary in June 2019. The 
Montclair Lions club was founded in 1979 at the Montclair Country Club 
and elected their first president, Mr. Ron Milam, soon thereafter. As 
part of the June 2019 celebration, the one remaining active charter 
member, Mr. Terry Tallent, will be assuming the role as the club's 41st 
President.
  Over the past forty-years, the club has raised upwards of a half 
million dollars and provided hundreds of thousands of volunteer hours 
in support of various charitable organizations and community service 
projects within the First District. The Montclair Lions Club has 
supported the Old Dominion Eye Bank, training of leader dogs for the 
blind, high school scholarships, Action in Community Trough Service 
(ACTS), Boys and Girls Club of Prince William County, little league 
baseball teams, the Boy Scouts of America, Special Olympics and many 
more.
  The men and women of the Lions Club of Montclair exemplify the best 
of the spirit of the First District. Their lives of patriotism, 
service, and selflessness stand as an example to the ideals founded in 
the Lions Clubs motto ``We Serve.'' Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me 
in recognizing this momentous occasion for the Lions Club of Montclair 
and to wish them the brightest future.
