                HONORING THE WOMAN'S CLUB OF MORRISTOWN

                                 ______
                                 

                      HON. RODNEY P. FRELINGHUYSEN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 28, 2010

  Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Woman's 
Club of Morristown located in Morris County, New Jersey, which is 
celebrating its 100th Anniversary this year.
  Since its inception in 1920 as the Woman's Town Improvement 
Committee, the Woman's Club of Morristown has played a significant role 
in the community. Part of the New Jersey State Federation of Woman's 
Clubs and the General Federation of Woman's Clubs, the Woman's Club of 
Morristown has a long history of helping improve the lives of others.
  Over the past century, the scope and impact of the efforts made by 
the members of the Woman's Club of Morristown have been far-reaching; 
from raising funds to volunteering their time for a variety of causes. 
They have shown a strong commitment to assisting the needs of cancer 
patients, newborns, nursing home residents, and residents at Greystone 
Psychiatric Hospital. In addition, they have shown their support for 
education by providing assistance to The Lake Drive School for the 
Hearing Impaired, awarding scholarships to graduates of Morristown High 
School and donating books to the Morristown Library. The Woman's Club 
of Morristown has also shown their support for organizations that help 
battered women and abused children. They are continuously looking to 
help those less fortunate, exemplified by their donations of clothing 
to Seaman's Institute and their co-sponsoring of ``Operation Holiday,'' 
which provides gifts to those who cannot afford them.
  In addition to assisting organizations in the community, the Woman's 
Club of Morristown has noted the historical importance of the area by 
preserving and maintaining the historic house of Dr. Lewis Condict, 
which serves as their club house. The house was built in 1797 and has 
been maintained by the organization for over 50 years.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you and my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating the members of the Woman's Club of Morristown as they 
celebrate 100 incredible years of community service.
