in the house of representatives
Mr. KEAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 90th anniversary of Vasa Park in Mount Olive, New Jersey. In 1936 the Vasa Order of America established Vasa Park to serve as a retirement community for Scandinavian immigrants across the Morris County area. Today, the park has grown as a meeting place for descendants of the original founders to come with their families and vacation, experiencing the nature of Mount Olive.
Cultural Center for social events and commemoration of Scandinavian ancestry. Families descending from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland make up the over 1,000 members who return to the park year after year.
Morris County, serving as a lasting symbol of culture and tradition. Throughout its history, the park has upheld the sense of community that is so important to the citizens of Mount Olive and Morris County as a whole.
Mr. Speaker, I ask you and my colleagues to join me in commemorating Vasa Park's 90th Anniversary, as they continue to uphold Scandinavian tradition in Mount Olive, New Jersey.
