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.
