                      Wednesday, February 7, 2001

  Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker, I wish to rise today in 
recognition of the 100th anniversary of the Eureka Women's Club of 
Humboldt County, California.
  Formed in 1901 as the Monday Club Federation of Eureka, the club 
quickly allied with the California Federation of Women's Clubs, and 
finally became known as the Eureka Women's Club. The club membership 
has provided countless hours of service for the betterment of the 
community.
  Through cultural and educational events, as well as charitable 
interests, the Eureka Women's Club has encouraged a high moral standard 
and abiding interest in the historical traditions of Eureka and the 
region. Their legacy includes advocacy for the preservation of the 
acclaimed California Federated Women's Club Grove along the Eel River 
in Humboldt Redwoods State Park, as well as their classic Craftsman 
styled 1917 clubhouse, located at 1531 J Street, in the Victorian 
Seaport town of Eureka, California.
  Mr. Speaker, it is appropriate at this time that we honor the members 
of the Eureka Women's Club and acknowledge their dedication and 
commitment to the many worthwhile projects over the past century that 
have enhanced the broader community.

                          ____________________
