  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Sarah Etta Work as she celebrates her 100th birthday on Wednesday, May 
27.
  A dedicated member of her community, Mrs. Work graduated from 
Connellsville High School in 1938 before attending the Carnegie 
Institute of Technology. She managed the kitchen at Springfield 
Elementary School in Newville, Pennsylvania for 27 years.
  Mrs. Work and her husband, Glenn, established the Mill Run 
Campground, now the Yogi Bear Campground in Mill Run, Pennsylvania. 
Today, she continues to maintain a consistent presence at the 
campground.
  For decades, Mrs. Work has been an outstanding community member. She 
is a member of the Indian Creek Baptist Church, where she taught Sunday 
School for over 40 years. Additionally, she served as a 4-H leader for 
25 years. Mrs. Work has two children, six grandchildren, and 14 great-
grandchildren. Before Glenn's passing in 2007, Mr. and Mrs. Work were 
married for 67 years.
  It's my honor to congratulate Sarah Etta Work on a century of life 
well-lived. I wish her a very happy 100th birthday and every continued 
happiness.
