               HAPPY 100TH ANNIVERSARY EASTERN STAR HOME

                                 ______


                           HON. GLENN POSHARD

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 8, 1995
  Mr. POSHARD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Eastern 
Star Nursing Home for 100 years of quality service. Located in Macon, 
IL, the home has, for a century, provided exceptional living conditions 
for the Sisters of the Order of the Eastern Star of Illinois. I want to 
take this opportunity to wish them my very best as they enter a new era 
of providing excellence in health care.
  The members of Eastern Star offer guidance and support to young women 
from across the country, and always strive to work together for the 
benefit of mankind. This nonprofit, sheltered, and intermediate life 
care facility is dedicated to providing superior medical care to its 
residents, furnishing 58 women a caring and compassionate home that 
ensures a safe and secure living environment.
  The Eastern Star Nursing Home is the only remaining retirement home 
specifically designated for the Sisters of the Order of the Eastern 
Star of Illinois. Since 1895, the home has set the standard of 
excellence in this area of health care. I applaud the home's dedicated 
staff, and I salute the members of this civic minded organization. Mr. 
Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join with me in congratulating the 
Eastern Star Nursing Home on its century of service to the people of 
southeastern Illinois.
