  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Jim and Suzie 
Connors, who will be recognized at the Jewish Family Service of 
Northeastern Pennsylvania's Inaugural Community Recognition Event on 
June 8, 2016. Mr. and Mrs. Connors will be honored for their work with 
Jewish Family Service and their long history of service to the Greater 
Scranton Community.
  The Jewish Family Service of Northeastern Pennsylvania is a human 
service organization, which reflects the Jewish tradition of caring and 
compassion for all people in need. Through professional counseling, 
advocacy, and educational programming, its services seek to enhance and 
strengthen the quality of individual, family, and community life.
  Mr. and Mrs. Connors are well known as community leaders committed to 
helping others throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania. Jim served as 
Mayor of Scranton from 1990 to 2002. Suzie was an educator in the 
Scranton school district for over thirty years and is a former board 
president for Jewish Family Service. Today, they both serve as members 
on the board of directors for Jewish Family Service.
  It is an honor to recognize Mr. and Mrs. Connors. I wish them the 
best as they continue to work to improve the lives of Pennsylvanians.
