  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate Master Harry 
Pfister and Villari's

Self Defense Center for their outstanding contributions, particularly 
the special assistance provided to the needy in our communities. The 
Self Defense Center has been training children and adults in the 
martial arts in the Bucks-Mont area with great success; however, the 
lessons also have included enhancing the spirit of volunteerism and 
charity under the tutelage of Master Pfister. I would like to 
acknowledge that more than $50,000 was raised for local charitable 
causes, including Manna on Main Street, a kickathon held to ``kick'' 
hunger. This charity and other help for the neediest in the community 
made Villari's Self Defense Center more than a training ground for the 
martial arts. Master Pfister and all the associates understand the 
importance of helping others and I sincerely appreciate their work, 
knowing they will continue to be an inspiration for their students and 
the greater community in the future.
