       TRIBUTE TO RE/MAX 1ST CHOICE OF LONDONDERRY, NEW HAMPSHIRE

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to pay 
tribute to RE/MAX 1st Choice of Londonderry, New Hampshire, for being 
named ``Company of the Year'' by the Londonderry Business Council. It 
is indeed a prestigious honor.
  RE/MAX 1st Choice is a fast growing real estate business that has 
recently opened in Londonderry. Under the direction of Arlene Hajjar, 
RE/MAX 1st Choice has worked hard to establish itself within the real 
estate market of Londonderry.
  RE/MAX 1st Choice has worked hard for the community. It has sponsored 
a number of activities to benefit both charities and the community as a 
whole. Admirable business practices, community involvement, and 
charitable donations and sponsorships have made the company a rising 
force in the Londonderry business community. Its dedication to the town 
has been admirable and gracious.
  Arlene has been one of the main reasons behind RE/MAX 1st Choices' 
success. She is a member of the Londonderry Business Council and works 
diligently to represent the business community. She has helped shape 
not only her company, but also the community through her activism with 
the town.
  As a former real estate business owner, I understand the demands and 
the trials associated with owning and operating a real estate business. 
I commend Arlene Hajjar and the staff of RE/MAX 1st Choice on their 
success. I wish them the best of luck and congratulate them once again 
for receiving this award. It is an honor to represent them in the 
United States Senate.
