   CONGRATULATING RAVENSWOOD MANOR IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION ON THEIR 
                         CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MIKE QUIGLEY

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 18, 2014

  Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize the 
celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Ravenswood Manor 
Improvement Association located in Chicago, Illinois.
  For over 100 years, Ravenswood Manor Improvement Association has been 
an influential part of Chicago. When William E. Harmon began to sell 
houses for the Ravenswood Manor subdivision, the community was fewer 
than a hundred individuals strong. Now 100 years later, Ravenswood 
Manor has flourished into a substantial subdivision within the city.
  The Association has worked diligently to promote the welfare of the 
community by consistently maintaining public and private lands. They 
have enhanced the community by hosting annual neighborhood events, as 
well as thoroughly representing community interests working alongside 
their elected officials, City Departments, Chicago Police Department, 
Chicago Park District, local schools, and businesses. On September 5, 
2008, Ravenswood Manor was listed as a National Register Historic 
District.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating 
Ravenswood Manor Improvement Association on their 100th Anniversary. I 
am truly honored to represent such as outstanding association.
