                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 19, 2024

  Mr. PAPPAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise in recognition of Claire Nash, a 
longtime resident of Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, who celebrated her 100th 
birthday in August. Claire is a beloved member of the Wolfeboro 
community whose giving heart continues to touch the lives of all who 
have come to know her. Today, I honor Claire for her steadfast 
commitment to spreading love and joy throughout her community.
  Claire is loved throughout Wolfeboro and the towns surrounding it. 
Those who know her best would likely agree that it is better to 
describe her as 100 years young, not old. Everywhere she goes, she 
brings with her the exuberance and energy of the youngest at heart. As 
we celebrate Claire's 100th birthday, we recognize her unwavering 
dedication to her community and her continued contributions to the 
lives of countless others.
  Claire has long been passionate about crochet and other hand crafts, 
skills she perfected over the years and continues to share with the 
world. Through the years, Claire has handmade and gifted countless 
quilts, pillows, and other crafts to the Police Department, Fire 
Department, Children's Center, and many other local organizations in 
and around Wolfeboro. In all she does, she inspires us with an enduring 
legacy of caring, creativity, and selflessness.
  On behalf of the constituents of New Hampshire's First Congressional 
District, I wish Claire a happy and healthy 100th birthday. We thank 
her for bringing so much happiness and caring to her community and for 
her continued commitment to the people of New Hampshire.
