         HONORING THE WARREN ZONTA CLUB ON 90 YEARS OF SERVICE

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
Zonta Club of Warren, Pennsylvania, as it celebrates 90 years of 
empowering women through service and advocacy.
  Zonta International marks 100 years on the world stage this year, and 
the Zonta Club of Warren was one of the first clubs to be incorporated. 
The international service organization was founded in Buffalo, New 
York, with the mission of advancing the status of women.
  The Warren Zonta Club has worked to improve the lives of women 
locally, nationally, and worldwide. Warren Zonta has worked with 
various community organizations throughout its 90-year history, and at 
its core, the club has worked to make Warren County a better place to 
live and work. The club spearheaded the local March of Dimes campaign 
for many years and worked with the Girl Scouts, the Salvation Army, and 
Warren General Hospital.
  The word Zonta means honest and trustworthy and is derived from the 
language of the Native American Sioux.
  Mr. Speaker, I wish the Warren Zonta Club the best as it marks 90 
years of service, and I thank them for all of their contributions to 
Warren County.
