                     Wednesday, September 10, 2014

  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize 
the Umatilla Woman's Club, a member organization of the General 
Federation of Women's Clubs.
   The Umatilla Woman's Club was founded in 1920 by a group of civic-
minded women who established the first library in Umatilla. The group 
first organized informally, but recognizing the need for formal 
organization to better promote civic events, the Umatilla Woman's Club 
became one of the original twelve Woman's Clubs.
   The General Federation of Women's Clubs acts as a unifying force, 
bringing women together to strengthen their local communities through 
volunteer service. There are over 100,000 members worldwide who inspire 
change by supporting the arts, advancing education, encouraging civic 
involvement and promoting cooperation.
   I thank the Umatilla Woman's Club for their ongoing commitment to 
bettering our Central Florida community. Their philanthropy and spirit 
of volunteerism is an inspiration to us all.
