Mr. RICE of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Loris Civitan Club for being awarded the 2019-2021 Highest Percentage Increase Award by Civitan International.
Founded in 1938, the Loris Civitan Club is one of 1,300 Civitan Clubs with over 40,000 members worldwide. It is the oldest civic organization in the city of Loris, South Carolina and has provided invaluable services for the people there since its inception.
The club supports the Loris community by working with the local school system, supporting organizations that serve children with disabilities, providing programs at local football games, and setting out American flags on federal holidays.
Additionally, the Loris Civitan Club has played a large part in sponsoring the annual South Carolina Special Olympic Games. I believe it is important for the country to continue growing civic organizations like the Loris Civitan Club. They work hard every day to ensure that those with mental disabilities and the less fortunate in the Loris community have the assistance they need to live a fulfilling life. The members associated with this club are shining examples of true American patriots and amazing role models for the Loris community and the state of South Carolina.
Madam Speaker, I join the people of Loris in congratulating the Loris Civitan Club on their momentous achievement. We thank them for the selfless actions they have taken to improve the Loris community.
