                         Tuesday, July 30, 2024

  Mr. KEAN of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate and 
recognize the Reeves-Reed Arboretum on their 50-year anniversary. I am 
grateful to be able to celebrate this incredible milestone with the 
Reeves-Reed family and our community. The Reeves-Reed Arboretum is a 
beautiful natural setting of a forest and gardens that engages, 
enriches, and teaches its visitors about environmental stewardship. For 
the past 50 years, they have shown their dedication to our community 
through programs and activities for all ages to grow through connecting 
with nature. Reeves-Reed has something for everyone, including summer 
camps for children, gardening and hiking groups, scout events, and many 
opportunities to learn and reflect. As a non-profit organization, the 
Arboretum and its staff are dedicated to their mission of helping our 
community and being an educational and spiritual resource for its 
visitors. Reeves-Reed is also a cornerstone of Summit's cultural 
landscape, and its 13.5 acres are listed on both the National and State 
Registers of Historic Places. As we reflect on the past 50 years at 
Reeves-Reed they have exceeded the expectations and I know they will 
continue to do so for the next 50 years to come. I am honored to have 
such an amazing community in the 7th Congressional District, and I look 
forward to what is to come.
