  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 10th 
anniversary of the Edison Cricket Club. The organization continues to 
serve as an outstanding social and athletic club in Middlesex County, 
New Jersey.

  Since its establishment, the Edison Cricket Club has provided an 
outlet for the community to be active and enjoy the sport of cricket. 
Its members have worked tirelessly to promote the sport, which has 
helped the club grow. The club's home ground is based at Thomas 
Jefferson Middle School in Edison. In addition to club-sponsored 
events, including its annual awards celebration, its members also 
participate in community service and charitable events. It has also 
worked with the Edison School Board to host a summer camp for local 
children.
  The club is currently comprised of three teams and competes in four 
leagues: the Cricket League of New Jersey; the Millennium Cricket 
League; the New Jersey State Cricket and Umpire's Association; and the 
New Jersey Softball Cricket League. The Edison Cricket Club joined the 
Cricket League of New Jersey in 2004 and is currently one of 48 clubs 
in the league. After joining, the Edison Cricket Club quickly moved 
into Conference A of that league and in 2010 earned 2nd place in the 
conference final.
  The club is currently led by its president, Atul Huckoo. It has an 
Advisory Board consisting of public officials and representatives of 
media outlets, organizations, and others.
  Mr. Speaker, once again, please join me in congratulating the Edison 
Cricket Club on its 10th anniversary.
