  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to recognize the Women of 
Tomorrow Mentor and Scholarship Program, an incredible organization 
located in my Congressional district, and congratulate its founders, 
Jennifer Valoppi and Don Browne, for being named recipients of Governor 
Jeb Bush's Points of Light Award.
  This award is the State's highest honor given to those who dedicate 
themselves to the Florida community through acts of volunteerism.
  Since its inception in 1997, the Women of Tomorrow Mentor and 
Scholarship Program has been a pioneer institution for inspiring at-
risk young women to achieve their fullest potential through education 
and job training.
  As a result of the organization's efforts, young women throughout our 
community can receive positive guidance and mentoring from professional 
women in South Florida.
  The Women of Tomorrow Mentor and Scholarship Program is a perfect 
example of individuals uniting to improve the lives of our community's 
youth, and I am proud of all those who are associated with this 
remarkable organization.
