  Mr. LATHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Genealogy 
Association of Humboldt for being the recipient of the Cooperation 
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 Cooperation Award is 
presented to an organization or entity which led an effort or event 
that benefited and filled a need in the community through volunteerism.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to represent the members of the Humboldt 
Genealogy Association 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.
