     CELEBRATING THE 90TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT 
                            DEMOCRATIC CLUB

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. FRANK J. MRVAN

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 11, 2022

  Mr. MRVAN. Madam Speaker, it is my distinct pleasure to congratulate 
the members of the Hammond, Indiana Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) 
Democratic Club as they celebrate the organization's 90th anniversary. 
In honor of this momentous occasion, the FDR Club will be hosting an 
anniversary banquet on April 30, 2022, at the Hammond Mohawk Athletic & 
Conservation Club.
  The Franklin D. Roosevelt Club of Hammond was founded by forty-two 
members of Polish ancestry on December 3, 1932. Since the time of its 
founding, the club's members set out to engage in the promotion and 
advancement of civic progress within the Democratic Party. Since its 
inception, club members have selflessly given their time and support to 
the community of Northwest Indiana. The residents of Northwest Indiana 
are grateful for the club's ``Candidates' Night,'' which is held prior 
to each primary and general election. This is an outstanding 
opportunity for voters to meet candidates and discuss the needs of 
their community. For their significant contributions to upholding the 
ideals of the democratic process in their communities and throughout 
Northwest Indiana, the members and leaders of the FDR Club are to be 
commended.
  At this time, I would like to acknowledge the 2020 FDR Club Officers. 
They are: President Suzette Kubacki, First Vice President Lee Ward, 
Second Vice President Anna Mamala, Secretary Mark Szpak, Treasurer Ted 
Oberc, and Trustees Rich Chmielik, Mary T. Hildebranski, and Brian 
Krupinski.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that you and my other distinguished colleagues 
join me in congratulating the Hammond Franklin D. Roosevelt Democratic 
Club on its 90th anniversary. The work of this truly admirable 
organization is a great asset to the people of Northwest Indiana, and 
for their selfless service, the leadership and members are worthy of 
the highest praise, and I am proud to serve as their representative in 
Washington, D.C.
