                      Wednesday, February 27, 2008

  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the League of 
United Latin American Citizens Council #4366 in Denton, Texas. This 
group is being recognized by Texas Women's University as a 2008 Texas 
Women's University Founders Award recipient.
  The Denton LULAC Council #4366 was established in 1981 under the 
leadership of charter president Frank Devila and 10 other Denton 
community leaders. Today, members serve on a number of Denton boards 
and committees, including the Denton Hispanic Chamber of Commerce as 
well as the committees for the Cinco de Mayo, Cena en el Barrio and 
Fiesta on the Square celebrations.
  For more than five years, the Denton LULAC Council #4366 has 
partnered with Texas Women's University to award scholarships to 
deserving Hispanic students in the North Texas area. Since 2002, the 
organization has awarded scholarships to 13 Hispanic students at Texas 
Women's University.
  Chancellor of Texas Women's University, Ann Stuart, has said that the 
university is fortunate to have partners such as Denton LULAC join them 
in their mission of educating the State's future leaders.
  The Texas Women's University Founders Award is presented to honor 
organizations and individuals who have supported Texas Women's 
University. I am proud to honor the Denton LULAC Council #4366. This 
group of dedicated and service-oriented individuals is very deserving 
of this award, and I am proud to represent these citizens in the 26th 
Congressional District of Texas.
