                      Tuesday, September 10, 2024

  Ms. OMAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the exceptional 
achievement of the Golden Valley Historical Society (GVHS) as they 
commemorate fifty years of serving our community.
  Founded in 1974, the Golden Valley Historical Society has tirelessly 
worked to find, preserve, and disseminate historical knowledge about 
the city of Golden Valley, Minnesota. The GVHS has dedicated countless 
hours to collecting oral and video histories, photographs, and three-
dimensional objects in pursuit of this mission.
  In 1997, the GVHS acquired Golden Valley's oldest church as a 
permanent home and collections repository. This site has become a vital 
gathering place for the community of Golden Valley.
  The City of Golden Valley has issued a proclamation recognizing 
Saturday, September 14th as ``Golden Valley Historical Society Day.'' I 
am proud to join the city in recognizing the Golden Valley Historical 
Society for providing this essential service to our community for the 
past 50 years.
