  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Gerry B. Shreiber 
for his longstanding dedication to animal welfare and animal rights. On 
April 6, 2006, Gerry's family, friends, and colleagues gathered at the 
Mansion on Main Street in Voorhees, NJ, for the Animal Adoption Center 
Dinner where he was awarded the Southern New Jersey Humanitarian of the 
Year Award.
  Mr. Shreiber is the President and CEO of J and J Snack Foods Corp., 
which has received numerous awards in the worlds of both business and 
philanthropy. Gerry is an avid animal lover and contributes significant 
time and resources to the betterment of animals. He is currently the 
Director of the North American Wildlife Park Foundation and is a member 
of many animal welfare organizations including the World Wildlife Fund, 
National Wildlife Federation, American Anti-Vivisection Society, 
International Fund for Animal Welfare, Animal Welfare Institute, 
Greenpeace, and PETA. Gerry has personally saved many animals' lives 
and currently lives on his New Jersey farm with over twenty animals. He 
is also active in our community at large including the Juvenile 
Diabetes Foundation, Jewish Community Center of Atlantic County, and 
serves on the Advisory Board at the Rutgers School of Business.
  Gerry Shreiber's dedication and selfless service to animals and to 
our greater community is an inspiration to humanitarians everywhere. I 
thank Gerry, and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
