time to recognize the East Chicago Good Fellows Club, Inc. as the 
organization celebrates its 100th Anniversary. In honor of this special 
occasion, the club's leaders and members will be commemorating this 
milestone with a ceremony at Dynasty Banquets in Hammond, Indiana, on

  The East Chicago Good Fellows Club is one of the oldest social 
organizations in the state of Indiana. The group was established in 
1922 and was initially formed as an athletic club that held a variety 
of sporting events. Throughout the years, the club has continued to 
host and sponsor numerous sporting and charity events in support of the 
community of East Chicago and beyond. In addition, the Good Fellows 
Club is active in their support of local youth sports teams and other 
charitable endeavors throughout Northwest Indiana. The members and 
leadership of the Good Fellows Club are to be highly praised for their 
commitment to philanthropy throughout the region, and I am happy to 
celebrate and honor their good work.
  At this time, I would like to acknowledge the Good Fellows Club 
Officers: President Joseph Fabian, Vice President Richard Peterson, 
Business Manager Eugene Nowacki, Financial Secretary Ronald Spudich, 
Treasurer Jerry Kundich, Secretary John Folta, and Sergeant-at-Arms 
Thomas Keough. The club's Trustees are Phillip Fabian, Jason Gore, and 
James McCormick.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you and my other distinguished colleagues to 
join me in congratulating the East Chicago Good Fellows Club on its 
100th anniversary. For their outstanding dedication to the community of 
East Chicago and Northwest Indiana, the leaders and members of this 
great organization are to be recognized and commended.
