                       CONGRATULATING ANNE McKEE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. PETER DEUTSCH

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 3, 1998

  Mr. DEUTSCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate a much beloved 
Key West resident, Ms. Anne McKee. For the past twenty-six years, Ms. 
McKee has dedicated her life to serving her community, and it is 
therefore, no surprise to hear that she has been named the 1998 
Florence Spottswood Humanitarian of the Year by the Monroe County 
chapter of the American Red Cross.
  This is not the first time that Ms. McKee has been recognized. In 
1993, she was named the Woman of the Year in Arts. To honor her 
achievements the mayor of Key West designated November 10, 1993 as Anne 
McKee Day. During her tenure as chairwoman of the Monroe County Arts 
Council, she successfully integrated the council into the South Florida 
Consortium and, in 1991, she founded the Anne McKee Artists Fund which 
has awarded more than 50 grants to local artists.
  In the spirit of Ms. Florence Spottswood, the founder of the Florida 
Keys chapter of the American Red Cross, I would like to take this 
opportunity to thank Anne McKee for her tireless contributions to our 
island city.
