                        HON. THOMAS H. KEAN, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, June 3, 2024

  Mr. KEAN of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to extend my 
warmest congratulations to Somerset County 4-H on the 50th anniversary 
of the Ted Blum 4-H Center. I am truly grateful to be celebrating this 
monumental milestone with you all.
  Named after Ted Blum, one of the most important and beloved figures 
in New Jersey's 4-H community, Somerset County's 4-H Center was touted 
as the largest building of its kind in the nation when it opened in 
1974. The Ted Blum 4-H Center has served as a model for 4-H facilities 
nationwide, providing meeting spaces for clubs and events as well as 
office space for the dedicated staff and volunteers who continue to 
ensure that ``4-H Is Tops''.
  I wish all the best to Somerset County 4-H on the 50th anniversary of 
the landmark Ted Blum 4-H Center, and I extend my thanks for all that 
they do for our community.

                          ____________________
