TIMOTHY M. KENNEDY of new york in the house of representatives Tuesday, March 18, 2025 Mr. KENNEDY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the incredible legacy and ongoing contributions of the Chinese Club of Western New York, a cornerstone of our community that has played an essential role in preserving and promoting Chinese culture for over six decades. Originally founded as the Chinese Club of Buffalo in 1954, this vibrant organization has grown into a vital part of our region, bringing together hundreds of active members, including families, professionals, and youth, all united in a shared purpose of cultural exchange and community building. Under the leadership of President Beiying Liu and Director of External Affairs Yanhong Na Baranski, the Chinese Club of Western New York continues to thrive and has consistently demonstrated its commitment to charitable service, cultural preservation, and the enhancement of social bonds among its members. Through endeavours like the Buffalo Chinese School, the Western New York Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the Buffalo Chinese Health Professionals, and various youth and senior clubs, the Chinese Club of Western New York has created spaces for learning, networking, and mutual support across generations. The Chinese Club of Western New York's efforts go far beyond just serving its members. [[Page E228]] It plays an important role in fostering connections with the greater community, celebrating cultural diversity, and promoting fellowship through community events and initiatives. As we mark the occasion of Chinese New Year, we not only celebrate the rich traditions and heritage of the Chinese community, but we also honor the spirit of unity, resilience, and the shared values that bind us together. Today, let us continue to support and grow organizations like the Chinese Club of Western New York, as they continue to enrich the lives of so many through their vibrant community, past accomplishments, and the exciting future that lies ahead. Please join me in celebrating the Chinese Club of Western New York, and wishing them great success as they remain a source of strength, inspiration, and cultural pride for generations to come. ____________________
