  IN COMMEMORATION OF THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. LOU BARLETTA

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 1, 2015

  Mr. BARLETTA. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to help commemorate the 
100th anniversary of the establishment of the Cumberland County 
Association of Township Officials. Over the past century, the 
organization has consistently endeavored to advance the interests of 
Cumberland County's 18 townships and has diligently served my 
constituents.
  First established in 1915, the organization continues to provide an 
arena for the discussion of issues of local and regional importance. 
Furthermore, the association serves over 400 township officials in 
Cumberland County by hosting informational conferences, offering 
training opportunities, and advocating for its members at the county, 
state, and federal levels. Most importantly, the organization helps a 
range of supervisors, managers, secretaries, treasurers, tax 
collectors, and auditors develop a better understanding of the rights 
and duties of township officials--an invaluable educational service.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize the Cumberland County 
Association of Township Officials as it celebrates its 100th 
anniversary. I am incredibly grateful for this community organization 
that strives every day to ensure the future stability and prosperity of 
Cumberland County.
