                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, November 5, 2015

  Mr. BARLETTA. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to help commemorate the 
100th anniversary of the establishment of the Greater Wilkes-Barre 
Association of Realtors. The association and its members have played a 
crucial role in helping my constituents realize the American dream of 
home ownership.
  Since 1915, the association has been able to support the interests of 
local realtors in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The organization has 
enjoyed a distinguished history of real estate brokerages that have 
grown from sole proprietorships to multiple offices over the course of 
the past century--a notable feat. The senses of entrepreneurship and 
dreams shared by all of its realtors have perpetuated a long list of 
members and have survived to the present day. They truly embody the 
spirit of American entrepreneurialism, and I am thankful for the 
services that they provide my constituents on a daily basis.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize the Greater Wilkes-Barre 
Association of Realtors as it celebrates its 100th anniversary, and I 
look forward to the group's continued success for years to come.
