  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Pat and Jerry 
Jambazian on the 50th anniversary of Wonder Cleaners & Drapery in 
Temple City. The Jambazian family has been providing their excellent 
services to the community since 1955. Jerry Jambazian's parents, Andrew 
and Rose Jambazian, first started the family business in San Gabriel in 
1947, and in 1955 the Jambazian family moved to Temple City, where they 
have been giving back to the community ever since.
  The Jambazians' Wonder Cleaners & Drapery is the oldest family-owned 
business in Temple City. Over the many years they have spent in Temple 
City, the Jambazians have shown themselves to be both excellent 
entrepreneurs and good neighbors. Throughout the past 50 years, their 
passion for providing conscientious, caring service to their customers 
has not waned, and they remain committed to making everyone feel well 
taken care of and welcome. It is this level of personal care and 
dedication that has allowed Wonder Cleaners & Drapery to grow steadily 
through the years.
  Even while running a successful family-owned business, the Jambazians 
have also managed to remain deeply involved in the community. In 
addition to his duties and responsibilities as a proprietor, Jerry 
Jambazian has been involved in numerous different civic organizations, 
ranging from the Kiwanis Club to the Temple City Chamber of Commerce. 
Mr. Jambazian supports our local schools by organizing the Student of 
the Month program and working closely with students, teachers, and the 
community to encourage a greater appreciation of education. Jerry 
Jambazian also serves on the boards of many different non-profit 
organizations, and his leadership efforts in constructing the Outdoor 
Performance Pavilion have contributed to the completion of that 
beautiful venue in Temple City. Jerry Jambazian has further contributed 
to Temple City through his excellent photography skills; his photos are 
beautiful mementos of special community moments. Without Jerry 
Jambazian's leadership skills, enthusiasm, and passion for helping 
others and serving the community, Temple City would not be what it is 
today.
  I am proud to congratulate the Jambazian family on the occasion of 
the 50th anniversary of their family-owned business, Wonder Cleaners & 
Drapery. I ask all Members of Congress to join me in honoring the 
Jambazians for their dedication to making our community a better place 
to live.
