                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, January 13, 2014

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate Master Harry 
Pfister and Villari's Self Defense Center for their outstanding 
contributions, particularly the special assistance provided to the 
needy in our communities. The Self Defense Center has been training 
children and adults in the martial arts in the Bucks-Mont area with 
great success; however, the lessons also have included enhancing the 
spirit of volunteerism and charity under the tutelage of Master 
Pfister. I would like to acknowledge that more than $50,000 was raised 
for local charitable causes, including Manna on Main Street, a 
kickathon held to ``kick'' hunger. This charity and other help for the 
neediest in the community made Villari's Self Defense Center more than 
a training ground for the martial arts. Master Pfister and all the 
associates understand the importance of helping others and I sincerely 
appreciate their work, knowing they will continue to be an inspiration 
for their students and the greater community in the future.
