                           HON. LEONARD LANCE

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 25, 2011

  Mr. LANCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to join the Chabad of Hunterdon 
County, New Jersey in honoring the Resnick family.
  This year, Carl, Ted and Martin Resnick of Flemington, New Jersey 
will receive the Chabad of Hunterdon County's prestigious Community 
Leadership Award during a community celebration that will be held on 
Thursday, June 2 at the Grand Colonial in Hampton, New Jersey.
  Each year the Chabad of Hunterdon County presents its Community 
Leadership Award to recognize individuals, families and businesses who 
take leadership roles in the community, by giving back to the community 
and being involved to improve the overall community.
  As a lifelong resident of Hunterdon County, I have known Carl, Ted 
and Martin Resnick and their family for most of my life. In addition to 
owning the Flemington Department Store--which is a successful family-
owned business--the Resnick family have been active members of our 
community for more than 50 years.
  Over the years, the Resnicks have been involved with local sports 
teams, clubs, service organizations, wildlife refuge efforts, the arts 
and area first responders. In 2009 the Resnicks deservingly received 
the Distinguished Citizen Award from the Central New Jersey Council of 
the Boy Scouts of America for their community involvement.
  I am proud to join the Chabad of Hunterdon County in praising Carl, 
Martin and Ted Resnick for their hard work and devotion to the 
Hunterdon County community. I am also pleased to praise their 
accomplishments and share their story with my colleagues in the U.S. 
House of Representatives and with the American people.
