                       Wednesday, March 28, 2012

  Mr. CLARKE of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Indian Village Tennis Club's 100th anniversary on April 16, 2012. The 
Indian Village Tennis Club is a rich part of Detroit's history.
  The Indian Village Tennis Club has owned its property since 1894, and 
began using the tennis courts and clubhouse on April 16, 1912. The 
Indian Village Tennis Club is located in Detroit's historic Indian 
Village neighborhood, and is the oldest tennis club in the United 
States to remain at its original site.
  Club members enjoy the clay tennis courts, clubhouse, and perennial 
garden from May to October. The club has hosted numerous tournaments, 
lessons with tennis professionals, and social events promoting healthy 
living and wellness. Club members are active in the community.
  It is with honor that I recognize the Indian Village Tennis Club for 
being a valuable organization in the Metro Detroit community for 100 
years.
  I am proud to have such a distinguished club in my community and I 
look forward to its continued success.
