      COMMENDING CARL, MARTIN AND TED RESNICK OF HUNTERDON COUNTY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. LEONARD LANCE

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 4, 2009

  Mr. LANCE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend three outstanding 
citizens in my Seventh Congressional District--Carl, Ted and Martin 
Resnick of Hunterdon County, New Jersey.
  On Wednesday, November 11 these three outstanding individuals will 
receive the 2009 Distinguished Citizen Award from the Central New 
Jersey Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
  All three of these men are receiving this prestigious award for their 
commitment to the Boy Scouts in Hunterdon County and their strong 
commitment to the entire Hunterdon County community. Whether it be 
their involvement in local sports teams, clubs, service

organizations, wildlife refuge efforts, the arts, or area first 
responders, the Resnick family has made significant contributions to 
our community.
  As a lifelong resident of Hunterdon County, I have known Carl, Ted 
and Martin Resnick and their family for most of my life. In addition to 
owning the Flemington Department Store--which is a family-owned 
business--the Resnick family has been active members of the Hunterdon 
County community for more than 50 years.
  In addition to his role at the Flemington Department Store, Carl 
Resnick is a strong advocate for blood donor programs and has donated 
more than eight gallons of blood to help others. Ted Resnick may be 
best known for his 40-year involvement in the Hunterdon County 
wrestling program where he still volunteers as a coach, mentor, referee 
and supporter. Martin Resnick has been very active in community affairs 
such as organizing a collection center for relief efforts for Hurricane 
Katrina victims.
  Because of their hard work and devotion to the entire Hunterdon 
County community, I am pleased to join the Central New Jersey Council 
Boy Scouts of America in commending Carl, Martin and Ted Resnick. I am 
also pleased to share their good efforts and contributions with my 
colleagues in the United States Congress and with the American people.
