  Mrs. MORELLA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize and celebrate of the 
50th Anniversary of The Zonta Club of Montgomery County. Zonta 
International is a worldwide service organization of business and 
professional executives who work together to advance the status of 
women. There are more than 34,000 members in 1,230 clubs. This past 
weekend, I gathered with the many dedicated members of my local club, 
known for many years as The Zonta Club of Bethesda/Silver Spring.
  The Zonta Club of Montgomery County was founded and chartered in 
January of 1952. Their very first project involved distinguished 
service to the men and women of our Armed Forces through the local 
United Service Organizations. Over the past 50 years. The Zonta Club of 
Montgomery County has provided committed leadership and community 
service for so many other individuals and organizations. In this 
anniversary year, the membership has provided caring and dedicated 
service to The National Home for Children and Families in Bethesda.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to express my deepest thanks and admiration 
to The Zonta Club of Montgomery County, Maryland for 50 years of 
commitment and service to our community.
