             IN HONOR OF PAN ICARIAN BROTHERHOOD OF AMERICA

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 23, 2009

  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of the Pan Icarian 
Brotherhood of America as they come together for their 106th Supreme 
Convention and in recognition of the significant contributions 
Americans of Greek Heritage have made to the Greater Cleveland 
Community and to our Nation.
  On this 106th anniversary of the organization's founding, I am 
honored and pleased that the Convention is being hosted by the 
Cleveland, Ohio Chapter. As many as fifteen hundred people of Greek 
descent will travel from across the nation for this momentous occasion. 
We are very fortunate to live in a country that is rich with diversity 
and culture including a thriving Greek-American community. The Pan 
Icarian Brotherhood has passed down Greek traditions and practices. 
Greek-Americans have made invaluable contributions to their communities 
throughout the United States by participating in community service, 
social groups and sharing their history.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honor of the Pan 
Icarian Brotherhood of America on the occasion of their 106th Supreme 
Convention in Cleveland, Ohio and in recognition of the significant 
contributions Greek-Americans have made to our country.

                          ____________________
