  Mrs. DAHLKEMPER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an exceptional 
organization in Erie, Pennsylvania on their 35th anniversary of service 
to our community.
  SafeNet is an agency of dedicated professionals and volunteers 
working to end domestic violence against women, men, children and the 
elderly by providing shelter, counseling, legal advocacy and education. 
SafeNet helps victims find support through a wide range of programs, 
working closely with hospitals, schools, law enforcement and the courts 
to increase awareness and understanding of domestic violence.
  For 35 years, SafeNet has brought hope and help to so many people in 
my region. Through their public education campaign, Unmasking the 
Faces, SafeNet is showing us all that victims of domestic violence can 
overcome their experiences and become strong survivors and active 
members of our community.
  On behalf of all the families in my region, I extend my thanks and 
congratulations to SafeNet on their 35th anniversary and offer my 
support in their mission to put an end to domestic violence.
