                A TRIBUTE TO THE GOLD-EAGLE COOPERATIVE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 12, 2011

  Mr. LATHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Gold-Eagle 
Cooperative of Humboldt for being the recipient of the Horizon Award at 
the 2011 Humboldt County Spirit Awards.
  The Humboldt County Spirit Awards were established to recognize and 
honor outstanding groups and individuals who have worked for the 
benefit of all citizens of Humboldt County, to celebrate the 
accomplishments and activities of our communities, to acknowledge the 
value of volunteerism in the county, and to have a positive impact on 
community spirit.
  Annually included in the Spirit Awards, the Horizon Award is 
presented to a business or entity which has brightened Humboldt's 
horizon through building improvement. Gold-Eagle has made important 
commitments to the communities of Thor and Renwick over the past year 
and both communities have enjoyed sizeable expansion.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to represent the members of the Gold-Eagle 
Cooperative in the United States Congress. I know that my colleagues 
join me in commending them for their sincere dedication to establishing 
a better community and wish them continued success well into the 
future.
