Speaker. I rise today to ask you and my esteemed colleagues in the House of Representatives to pay tribute to the Polish National Alliance which is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year. Founded in 1880 in Philadelphia to unite the needs of the people of Poland who had emigrated to the United States. the Alliance has remained faithful to that mission. The PNA was founded to provide financial. social and leadership opportunities for a new group of Americans. Since its founding. the PNA has contributed countless volunteer hours and raised significant charitable donations for community service projects and to encourage patriotism. The PNA continues to support ethnic heritage programs that benefit its members and the community at large. The PNA is one of 75 fraternal benefit societies that belong to the National Fraternal Congress of America. The influence of Polish immigrants is a prominent part of the heritage o our community. Let us remember their contributions and let us honor the women of the PNA who. for generations. have maintained the traditions and customs of their ancestors and who have given much service to the communities in which they lived. Mr.
