  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you today to recognize the 
100th anniversary of the Saline County Homemakers Education 
Association.
  Since they first organized in 1918, members of the Saline County 
Homemakers have been devoted to improving the lives of women, children, 
families, and communities within their region. Through emphasizing the 
importance of the human and spiritual values of life, they have also 
sought to promote the development of positive role models and strong 
community leaders. Their programs and meetings have continued to 
provide Saline County residents with opportunities for friendship, 
personal growth, and community service.
  The Saline County Homemakers Education Association will be sharing 
their history with the community in a ceremony on Saturday, April 28 at 
the McKinley Baptist Church Education building in Harrisburg, Illinois.
  Mr. Speaker, I wish to send my congratulations to Saline County 
Homemakers Education Association for their continued success and 
dedication to their mission.

                          ____________________
