                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 1, 2008

  Mr. WALSH of New York. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
100th anniversary of Di Lauro Bakery in Syracuse, New York.
  Founded by John Di Lauro in 1908, Di Lauro Bakery has become an 
integral part of the Syracuse community. Although the times have 
changed since the bakery's opening, the recipe and baking procedure 
have not. The same oven installed by Di Lauro in the 1950s is used 
today, and customers go out of their way to buy bread from this fine 
bakery. By delivering consistency and quality, this Syracuse 
institution pleases its loyal customers, while attracting new ones. 
With its great baked goods, Di Lauro Bakery is a place the community 
will be able to enjoy for many more years to come. Di Lauro's has 
become a long-time neighborhood fixture and a community anchor.
  Di Lauro Bakery has always strived to provide the Syracuse community 
with the finest baked goods, and I am proud to recognize them here 
today. I congratulate current owners Paul and Valerie Wavercak, and 
their dedicated staff, both past and present, on reaching this 
milestone. On behalf of the people of the 25th District of New York, I 
thank them for 100 years of service that has been and will continue to 
be such a positive asset to the community.

                          ____________________
