BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CRAWFORD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor The Exchange Club of Jonesboro, Arkansas. The Exchange Club of Jonesboro was founded on August 28, 1947. This year they will be celebrating their 75th anniversary.

The 70-member club is active with programs such as: honoring a Law Enforcement Office of the Year, handing out flags on Veterans Day, presenting Citizenship Awards to local sixth graders, hosting an activity day and cookout for children with special needs, providing a scholarship to Arkansas State University to assist a local student, sponsoring a local boy and a girl so they can attend Boys State and Girls State each year, sponsoring Little League baseball teams, dressing as Santa to provide children in local hospitals with gifts at Christmas, and many more community events.

I am proud to have an organization like this in my District that makes an impact with a mission to inspire our communities to become better places to live.
