                         Monday, April 13, 2015

  Ms. LINDA T. SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
recognize the Woman's Club of Artesia-Cerritos and their 100 years of 
service. It is an honor to represent a distinguished organization that 
embodies leadership, service, and commitment to the community. I am 
proud to represent an organization such as the Woman's Club of Artesia-
Cerritos whose dedication and accomplishments over the past 100 years 
have had a profound impact on the community.
  Founded in 1915 as the Westside Reading Club, the Woman's Club of 
Artesia-Cerritos is one of the oldest community service organizations 
in both cities. Their community service has supported local programs 
and charities, including the Community Family Guidance Center, Friends 
of Cerritos Library and Artesia Library, and the Long Beach Veteran's 
Hospital.
  Each year the Woman's Club hosts a number of events and educational 
programs, and organizes volunteer services to support local community 
programs and charities. Their hard work and dedication illustrate the 
positive influence that women have in our community.
  The positive impact the Woman's Club has had, not only in the 
community they represent, but also in the surrounding neighborhoods is 
worthy of recognition. I wish them continued success and ask my 
colleagues to join me in congratulating the Woman's Club of Artesia-
Cerritos as they celebrate their 100 Year Anniversary.
