                     Wednesday, September 15, 2010

  Mr. PALLONE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
accomplishments of Joseph M. Wojcik, a native and lifelong resident of 
South River, New Jersey. Mr. Wojcik's outstanding legacy of public 
service, commitment and dedication to his community, as well as civic 
achievements, are unquestionably worthy of this body's recognition.
  Joseph M. Wojcik's career of public service began early as a student 
studying at Rutgers University. While attending college, he ran for 
positions on the South River Board of Education and the South River 
Town Council. His enthusiasm for and commitment to service continued 
into his professional life when Mr. Wojcik served the South River 
Planning Board as well as the South River Recreation Commission. 
Furthermore, he has dedicated time to the South River Knights of 
Columbus where he has had the honor to serve as Deputy Grand Knight, as 
well as Grand Knight in recent years. Currently, Mr. Wojcik is actively 
working for the Borough of South River.
  Mr. Wojcik's time and energy has also been dedicated to engaging with 
the Polish community in Middlesex County, of which he is a member. His 
efforts have been repeatedly recognized and, in a special tribute to 
his status in the community, this year he has been given the honor of 
serving as the Grand Marshall of the Middlesex County Pulaski Day 
Parade. Mr. Wojcik's father led the same parade as Grand Marshall in 
the early 1980's. As a proud citizen of Polish heritage, Mr. Wojcik 
embodies what the Parade's highest honorary position entails.
  Madam Speaker, Joseph Wojcik epitomizes what it means to give back to 
one's community. Please join me in leading this body in acknowledgment 
of the extraordinary contributions of Joseph M. Wojcik. He has worked 
tirelessly throughout his life to assist the residents of South River 
and his dedication should be an inspiration to us all.
