Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize the Portuguese Sporting Club of Perth Amboy on its centennial anniversary and join its leadership, members, and the community in celebrating the inauguration of a plaque designating Pulaski Street in Perth Amboy, New Jersey as ``PSC Place.''

The Portuguese Sporting Club is a mainstay of the Perth Amboy community. For 100 years, its members have upheld the organization's mission to support the physical and character development of its members. Through cultural, educational, and recreational programs and events, the Portuguese Sporting Club encourages civic involvement and good citizenship, fosters relationships, and honors and celebrates the Portuguese heritage.

Since its establishment, the organization has provided an outlet for socialization and fellowship, and opportunities for its neighbors to share in the rich traditions of Portugal. Its work to preserve and promote the Portuguese culture, and its support of the community are commendable.

Mr. Speaker, I sincerely hope my colleagues will join me in congratulating the Portuguese Sporting Club of Perth Amboy on its 100th anniversary and recognizing its efforts to enrich the Perth Amboy community.
