                         Friday, April 26, 2024

  Mr. PFLUGER. Mr. Speaker, today, I am happy to recognize and 
congratulate the Junior League of Midland on their 75 years of service 
to their community. What began with a charter membership of just 29 
women has turned into a robust network of over 600 volunteer members, 
working on projects that greatly support the city of Midland and 
effectively training women to be leaders in the community.
  For seven and a half decades, the Junior League of Midland has played 
a crucial role in developing community-oriented institutions such as 
the Museum of the Southwest, Teen Court, Rays of Hope, and many others. 
Beyond the development of these important institutions, their network 
of volunteers provides crucial support to the community--such as 
donating hygiene supplies to thousands of students in need, hosting 
after-school reading programs, and providing job-skills mentoring 
programs to survivors of domestic abuse.
  The members of this organization spend countless unpaid hours working 
toward the greater good of the people of Midland; for that, I cannot 
thank them enough. I am confident that the Junior League of Midland 
will continue to inspire and be of service to others across the 
community for many more years to come.
  Again, I want to congratulate the Junior League of Midland on their 
dedication to serving the Midland community for the past 75 years. I 
can say without a shadow of a doubt that I am beyond proud to represent 
these women in Congress.
