                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 5, 2010

  Mr. DEUTCH. Madam Speaker, I am both honored and privileged to 
congratulate Frank Pumilia on his installation to another term as 
President of the Margate Association of Condominiums.
  As a young boy growing up in Brooklyn, Frank attended local political 
events with his father and it was these early memories that inspired 
Frank to become an active member of numerous community organizations. A 
retired pretrial negotiator, investigator and paralegal expert, Frank 
served as Chairman and Chief Examiner of the Margate Civil Service 
Board from 1994 to 2002, and was a member of the Senior's Foundation of 
Broward and the Florida Business and Professional Board.
  Frank currently serves as the President of the Margate Democratic 
Club and as a board member of the Broward County Democratic Executive 
Committee. In addition to his current political involvement, Frank has 
long dedicated his time to the Margate condominium community. As the 
current President of the Margate Association of Condominiums, Frank has 
been tirelessly working to bring relief to the many condominium owners 
who are facing the threat of foreclosure. Most recently, Frank's 
community activism was recognized by his induction into Senior Hall of 
Fame by the Aging and Disability Resource Center.
  I am honored to have Frank's many years of friendship, and I wish him 
congratulations and continued success as he embarks on another term as 
President of the Margate Association of Condominiums. Frank's 
dedication to the Margate community has truly earned him the title, 
``Mr. Margate.''
