RECOGNIZING THE CHICAGO INDO-US LIONS CLUB FOR ITS OUTSTANDING SERVICE TO COMMUNITIES ACROSS ILLINOIS

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 3 (Tuesday, January 6, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 3 (Tuesday, January 6, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E3] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING THE CHICAGO INDO-US LIONS CLUB FOR ITS OUTSTANDING SERVICE TO COMMUNITIES ACROSS ILLINOIS ______ HON. RAJA KRISHNAMOORTHI of illinois in the house of representatives Tuesday, January 6, 2026 Mr. KRISHNAMOORTHI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Chicago Indo-US Lions Club for its outstanding service to communities across Illinois and for continuing the proud legacy of Lions Clubs International. Founded in Chicago in 1917 by Melvin Jones, Lions Clubs International has grown into the world's largest service club organization, guided by a mission of community service, humanitarian assistance, and the promotion of peace. The Chicago Indo-US Lions Club exemplifies this legacy through its dedicated volunteerism and commitment to addressing critical community needs. The Club has played a vital role in supporting vulnerable populations, particularly through its focus on public health initiatives, including vision, hearing, and diabetes care. Through its fundraising and outreach efforts, the Chicago Indo-US Lions Club helps bridge these gaps by providing essential medical equipment, including vision and hearing screening tools and A1C testing kits, to underserved communities. On February 28, 2026, members of the Chicago Indo-US Lions Club and their partners will gather to reaffirm their commitment to service and to support future health and environmental initiatives across Illinois. I am proud to recognize the Chicago Indo-US Lions Club and thank them for their dedication to service and for fostering connections that help Illinois communities thrive. ____________________
