Mr. Speaker, I rise today in the House to congratulate the Mount Albert and District Lions Club on the occasion of its 25th anniversary.
My family and I live in the village of Mount Albert. We are continually impressed by the contribution the Mount Albert Lions Club makes to our community. Community service groups like the Mount Albert Lions Club deserve special recognition for their good work and the time sacrifice made by individual members.
It is important for parliamentarians to realize the impact these types of organizations have on the communities they serve. In many cases they provide much needed assistance when the government is unable to do so.
Again I congratulate the Lions Club of Mount Albert on its 25th anniversary.
