  Mr. COOK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Rim of the World 
Historical Society, which has been selected by the Lake Arrowhead 
Communities Chamber of Commerce as its Non-Profit of the Year. The 
Society is dedicated to collecting, preserving and sharing the history 
of the Western San Bernardino Mountains communities.
  The Rim of the World Historical Society was founded in 1986 as the 
Crestline Historical Society. The early organization provided temporary 
history exhibits and programs. Over time, the name changed to the Rim 
of the World Historical Society the focus shifted to

being a stronger and more visible part of mountaintop communities, from 
Green Valley Lake to Cedar Pines Park. Its volunteers have designed and 
installed exhibits within the Mountain History Museum that are open to 
the public. Through the work of countless volunteers and community 
members, the Mountain History Museum has provided a window into the 
history of our beautiful mountain communities.
  On behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives, I would like to thank 
Rim of the World Historical Society for their hard work, dedication, 
and passion for culture and history of our mountain communities.
