                         Tuesday, May 11, 2010

  Mr. ADLER of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor 
``Servicios Latinos de Burlington County'' as they commemorate their 
10th anniversary.
  The people of our great nation share a common spirit and heritage. We 
believe in the American dream, and the promise that through our labors 
we can achieve educational and economic success. Throughout the past 
decade, Servicios Latinos has helped more than 2,500 Burlington County 
families in achieving this dream.
  Servicios Latinos is a social services agency that provides those in 
need with the resources they need to become informed, educated, and 
independently able to utilize vital services to become productive and 
healthy citizens.
  In addition to providing critical services in the areas of health, 
education, housing, and employment, they have also sponsored the 
bilingual health and higher education fairs and a Hispanic heritage 
festival. For the organization's inspiring work in the community, they 
have been honored by several national and state institutions and 
community partners.
  During their 10th anniversary celebration, Servicios Latinos will 
acknowledge and honor Dr. Robert C. Messina, Jr., President of 
Burlington County College, and State Senator Diane Allen, with the 
``Champion of Diversity Award'' for being cornerstones in the Servicios 
Latinos' establishment.
  I would also like to commend Ms. Angela Mateo Gonzalez, the Founder 
and Executive Director of Servicios Latinos for her commendable work 
with Servicios Latinos, which has made a dramatic, positive impact on 
the lives of thousands of South Jersey families. I thank her for her 
dedication and commitment to the community.
  Madam Speaker, I hope that you will join me in commending Ms. 
Gonzalez and the Servicios Latinos de Burlington County for helping so 
many in our community fulfill the American dream throughout the past 
ten years.
