                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 18, 2003

  Ms. GINNY BROWN-WAITE of Florida. Ms. Speaker, I rise today to 
recognize the South Lake Memorial American Auxiliary #55 on their 
Anniversary. Sixty-six years ago this Auxiliary was founded by the 
brave veterans of World War I and has been serving their community ever 
since.
  Most recently, they were recognized as one of the strongest promoters 
of the ``Spinoza Bear Program''. This is a compassionate crusade that 
brings a smile to thousands of grieving children.
  Their commitment to public service is renewed every year as they 
sponsor two young women to attend Girl's State, a wonderful program 
that has been developed to foster political activism in our nation's 
youth. They are involved in countless other activities that promote 
community involvement by their members.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to call the men and women of the South Lake 
Memorial American Legion constituents, and I ask that you join with me 
today to congratulate them on their service to our nation.

                          ____________________
