Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the Fort Worth Club on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of its historic Seventh Street location in Fort Worth. This remarkable milestone marks a century of service as one of the premier social, civic, and business institutions in North Texas. Since the completion of its construction, the Fort Worth Club has stood as a distinguished gathering place for leaders in business, govemment, and public life. Over the decades, its halls have welcomed notable figures including Franklin D. Roosevelt, James H. Doolittle, and countless civic leaders, athletes, and prominent members of the community. The Fort Worth Club has served not only as a venue for fellowship and commerce, but also as a cornerstone of civic engagement and cultural tradition. The building is home to the Davey O'Brien Foundation Hall of Fame and annually hosts the prestigious Davey O'Brien Award, recognizing studen-athletes who exemplify excellence in teamwork, sportsmanship, leadership, and academics. In addition, the Club continues to provide a home for a wide range of businesses and organizations, including distinguished law firms, energy companies, technology enterprises, nonprofit organizations, and public offices, all of which contribute to the continued growth and vitality of the Fort Worth community. On behalf of the 12th Congressional District of Texas, I congratulate the Fort Worth Club on 100 years at its Seventh Street location and in recognizing its enduring legacy of leadership, service, and commitment to the people of Fort Worth and the State of Texas. ____________________
