IN RECOGNITION OF THE BROTHERHOOD OF CHEFS FOR THEIR COMMUNITY SERVICE 
              TO THE WYOMING VALLEY CHILDREN'S ASSOCIATION

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. MATT CARTWRIGHT

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 26, 2014

  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Brotherhood of 
Chefs of Northeastern Pennsylvania, who volunteered their time and 
expertise to host the third annual ``Cooking for a Cause'' event on 
February 24, 2014.
  For the third year the Brotherhood of Chefs has donated their 
culinary skills to help a number of nonprofit agencies whose mission is 
to benefit children in need. Many of these organizations rely on 
events, like ``Cooking for Cause,'' to support their daily programming 
costs and without their support might find the need to scale back basic 
services to children with special needs. An event like this offers an 
opportunity for the entire community to come together to celebrate and 
support many worthy childhood development agencies. ``Cooking for a 
Cause'' under the able leadership of Tom Malloy, President, Nello 
Allegrucci, Vice President, Ed Ancas, Secretary and Carmen Allegrucci, 
Treasurer, along with an extremely talented team of 20 chefs has made 
significant contributions in its brief history.
  I join with other members of my local community in congratulating the 
Brotherhood of Chefs of Northeastern Pennsylvania for donating their 
time and unique talent to making our community a better place and for 
focusing their efforts on children in need in our community. I believe 
this effort reveals the American spirit of generosity and selfless 
giving that is one of our greatest virtues.
