  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Speaker, it is my distinct honor to congratulate 
the Croatian Sons Lodge Number 170 of the Croatian Fraternal Union on 
the festive occasion of its Golden Member banquet, which will take 
place on Sunday, October 16, 2016.
  The Croatian Fraternal Union will hold its gala at the Croatian 
Center in Merrillville, Indiana. Traditionally, the celebration entails 
a formal recognition of the Union's Golden Members, those who have 
achieved fifty years of membership. This year's honorees who have 
attained fifty years of membership include the following individuals: 
Lorraine Ackerman, Stephen Boskovich, Maria Cohen, Mildred Dobrinich, 
Pamela Ann Donlon, Carol Ann Gainey, Frank Gorski, Susan Grasham, Sally 
A. Kegley, Jo Anne Marzowski, Shirley Mertz, Joan Milosevich, Margaret 
M. Moore, Rudolph Dennis Mrak, Jeannine Barbara Pavic, Cheryl Kay 
Povlock, Thomas George Rykovich, Stephen Simatovich Jr., Robert 
Stipancic, Paul Mason Struble, John Anthony Tadey, Linda Ann Vukovich, 
and Louise Alice Wolotka.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you and my other distinguished colleagues to join 
me in commending Lodge President John Miksich and all members of the 
Croatian Fraternal Union, Lodge Number 170, for their loyalty and 
radiant display of passion for their ethnicity. The Croatian community 
has played a key role in enriching the quality of life and culture of 
Northwest Indiana. It is my hope that this year will bring renewed 
prosperity for all members of the Croatian community and their 
families.
