  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Middlesex 
County Retired Educators Association of New Jersey (MCREA) in 
celebration of their 50th anniversary. The organization continues to 
organize in support of various social, educational and financial issues 
concerning retired educators throughout Middlesex County and New 
Jersey. Their services to the constituents of New Jersey are worthy of 
this body's recognition.
  The Middlesex County Retired Educators Association is dedicated to 
protecting the rights of many retired educators throughout Middlesex 
County, New Jersey. MCREA has made the protection of the retired school 
employees' state pension fund and ensuring the continuation of current 
health care benefits among its top priorities. MCREA members are active 
in their community and have organized assistance programs for nursing 
home residents, and delivered food for the needy and financial 
assistance to students. They have also organized various social 
functions for members to attend various cultural performances and 
historic sites as well as extended trips throughout the United States 
and various foreign countries. Today, MCREA is proudly represented by 
over 1,675 members throughout Middlesex County and New Jersey.
  Mr. Speaker, once again, please join me in congratulating the 
Middlesex County Retired Educators Association for 50 years of service. 
Their efforts continue to enhance the lives of retired educators 
throughout Middlesex County and New Jersey.
