                        Wednesday, April 6, 2005

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise in honor of Manuel Vargas who is being 
honored at the Brooklyn Caribe Lions Club dinner dance as ``Real Estate 
Broker of the Year.''
  Manuel is a successful licensed real estate broker in New York and 
Florida. He graduated magna cum laude from New York University with a 
Bachelor of Science degree in Real Estate. Manuel has more than 10 
years of experience in the real estate market. A Hall of Fame member 
for a large franchise in the new millennium, Manuel decided to start 
PAN/AMERICAN Realty.
  Amongst his reasons for doing so was because he wanted to deliver 
excellent, personalized service to his clients and to establish a 
household name that would be synonymous with honesty, professionalism 
and efficient marketing techniques. His goal was to give realty advice 
to clients and customers about all facets of the real estate industry.
  Throughout his career, Manuel has learned that he can also make a 
positive impact in the community that he works in by helping those in 
need. He has received numerous awards for all of the support and 
dedication he has given to different organizations.
  Mr. Speaker, Manuel Vargas has been a leader in his community and has 
been a wonderful example of how dedication and perseverance can lead to 
success. As such, he is more than worthy of receiving our recognition 
today and the award of Real Estate Broker of the Year. Thus, I urge my 
colleagues to join me in honoring this truly remarkable person.
