                          HON. MELISSA A. HART

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 13, 2006

  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize the National Association of the Wolves and its member dens 
for all of their work in the community.
  The National Association of the Wolves was founded approximately 
seventy-five years ago by a group of Italian-American businessmen in 
New Castle, Pennsylvania. With over 400 members in 14 dens (12 in 
Western Pennsylvania and 2 in Eastern Ohio), the Wolves promotes higher 
education among high school students by awarding college scholarships. 
Over the years, the National Association of the Wolves has raised over 
$6.1 million for 2,537 students. In addition to providing scholarships, 
the Wolves have established endowments at colleges and universities 
across Western Pennsylvania.
  The National Association of the Wolves will hold their national 
convention August 18 and 19, 2006 at the Avalon Inn in Warren, Ohio.
  I ask my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to 
join me in recognizing the National Association of the Wolves. It is an 
honor to represent the Fourth Congressional District of Pennsylvania 
and a pleasure to salute such a dedicated group like the National 
Association of the Wolves.
