Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Kiwanis Club of Waynesboro as they celebrate their centennial. For 100 years, the Waynesboro Kiwanians have shown a deep commitment to children in our community. In the 1930s, they sponsored a clinic for children in need. During the 1950s, they acquired a campsite that hosted many summer activities for local youth, including scouting and 4-H clubs. Today, with 53 members, the Kiwanis Club actively promotes childhood literacy by providing books to public schools, hosting eight Little Free Libraries, and building a library at the Boys & Girls Clubs. They also host an annual Halloween event that brings together over 3,000 families for a safe celebration. In addition, the Kiwanis Club of Waynesboro invests approximately $45,000 each year into our community through grants, scholarships, and donations to nonprofits. Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the Kiwanis Club of Waynesboro on this remarkable 100-year milestone. Their dedication truly makes our community a better place.
