Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate the Rotary Club of Waynesboro as they approach their centennial. Chartered in December 1924, the Waynesboro Rotary Club has dedicated nearly 100 years to service. They have consistently met over lunch on Tuesdays and have fostered a commitment to the community through the Four-Way Test, ensuring their initiatives are fair, beneficial, and rooted in truth. The club has evolved since the first project of beautifying the grounds of the local library. They have helped individuals without homes, supported environmental efforts, and provided school supplies, often partnering with local organizations to maximize their impact. To mark its 100th anniversary, the Rotary Club has teamed up with the Central Shenandoah Valley Office on Youth and Waynesboro Parks and Recreation to create a traffic playground for children to practice bike riding and learn about traffic safety. Many of these children may also have the opportunity to receive scholarships from the club, which have totaled over $350,000. I have no doubt the Rotary Club of Waynesboro will continue their vital service. Mr. Speaker, I commend them for their past century and wish them continued success in their efforts to prioritize service to others. {time} 1030 looking forward to the 119th congress
