                         Tuesday, July 23, 2013

  Mr. HASTINGS of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
honor Mr. Frank Pumilia for his lifetime of community involvement and 
dedication to South Florida.
  Frank grew up in Brooklyn, New York, where he was an active member of 
many community organizations. In 1989, he relocated to Broward County, 
Florida, and for more than 20 years has been politically and civically 
involved in his local community. He has served as Chairman and Chief 
Examiner of the Margate Civil Service Board, as a member of the 
Foundation of Broward, and also as a member of the Florida Business and 
Professional Board.
  Currently, Frank serves as the President of the Margate Democratic 
Club and as a board member of the Broward County Democratic Executive 
Committee. During his time as President, he has counseled and 
encouraged many of South Florida's political candidates and leaders. At 
the age of 92, Frank continues his role as Senior Political Advisor 
within the Broward County Democratic Party.
  Frank has also been an important leader in addressing condominium 
issues in his local community. He has served as President of the 
Margate Association of Condominiums for many years. In this capacity, 
he works to help those facing foreclosure and to advance the rights of 
condominium owners.
  It is my true honor and privilege to recognize Mr. Frank Pumilia for 
his continued community leadership and activism. I offer him my best 
wishes for continued good health and success in the years to come.
