                           HON. CLIFF STEARNS

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 8, 1997

  Mr. STEARNS. Mr. Speaker, this year marks the 75th anniversary of the 
Moosehaven facility, which provides residential care to older members 
of the Loyal Order of the Moose. I am proud to have this outstanding 
facility, located in Orange Park, FL, as part of my district.
  The Loyal Order of the Moose will be holding its international 
convention in Florida this summer. They have selected Florida as the 
convention site for the purposes of acknowledging the Moosehaven 
facility.
  Founded in 1922, the Moosehaven facility is unique in the fraternal 
world. The self-funded facility currently provides free care to 420 men 
and women who are members of the Moose Order. The infinite need for 
organizations to provide community-based solutions is exemplified by 
the success of the Moosehaven facility.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the Moosehaven 
facility on its 75th anniversary, and I look forward to its continued 
growth and progress in the future.

                          ____________________
