                       Tuesday, October 10, 2023

  Mr. VALADAO. Mr. Speaker pro tempore, I rise today to recognize the 
Wasco Woman's Club on their 100-year anniversary and to thank them for 
their significant contributions to the Wasco community. Founded in 
1923, the Wasco Woman's Club was started by 13 young women who joined 
together to improve Wasco through volunteer service. Their unwavering 
commitment to public service has guided their mission over the past 
century. The Wasco Woman's Club now has approximately 40 members, many 
of whom are active in other non-profits and faith-based organizations 
in the community. The club is passionate about the well-being of the 
city's residents and focuses many of their efforts on strengthening 
local schools, libraries, and youth programs.
  For a century, the Wasco Woman's Club has offered a chance for women 
of all ages to come together and give back to the Central Valley 
community. The club is a strong supporter of the Ronald McDonald House 
and Toys for Tigers organization, helping children and their families 
get through incredibly difficult situations. Additionally, the club 
hosts regular events for those in the community, including the Wasco 
High School Student Art and Photography Awards and the Christmas with 
Santa Event for special needs students. The club is also the proud 
owner of the oldest adobe building in the city, which they use to host 
special events and community gatherings. Amid all of their work, the 
members of the Wasco Woman's Club are committed to uplifting each other 
through their long-standing friendships and shared commitment to the 
betterment of the community.
  Mr. Speaker Pro Tempore, I ask all my colleagues in the House of 
Representatives to join me in celebrating the Wasco Woman's Club on 
their 100-year anniversary. Their work to enrich the community of Wasco 
will be felt for generations to come.
