  Mr. YAKYM. Mr. Speaker, I rise to commemorate Warsaw Masonic Lodge 
No. 73 F.&A.M in Warsaw, Indiana, as they prepare to celebrate their 
175th anniversary on May 30, 2024.
  Since its founding in 1849, the Warsaw Masonic Lodge has played an 
integral role in the Kosciusko County community. As a fraternal 
organization, the Warsaw Masonic Lodge is dedicated to the kind of 
values that all of us should espouse: respect for history, duty to 
country, a desire to serve others, and a commitment to forge a better 
future.
  As the oldest institution still in existence in Warsaw, Indiana, the 
Warsaw Masonic Lodge has stood the test of time and made significant 
and long-lasting contributions to the social and cultural life of 
Warsaw and all of Kosciusko County.
  This is above all a testament to quality of its members and the men 
who have walked through the Lodge's doors over the years. The Warsaw 
Masonic Lodge and organizations like it do much to contribute to the 
health of our communities in northern Indiana, and for that I am 
extremely grateful.
  I join many other Hoosiers in wishing the Warsaw Masonic Lodge a very 
happy 175th anniversary and many more successful and active years 
ahead.
