                         Tuesday, July 8, 2008

  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor one of South 
Florida's most outstanding citizens, the Honorable Mickey Novack, who 
recently turned 90. In the aftermath of the Second World War, former 
Surfside vice mayor Novack left London, where she was born, and came to 
this country. Having arrived in New York, she later moved to Surfside, 
Florida, where she established herself as an exemplary citizen both in 
her public and family life.
  Former vice mayor Novack has contributed to many different types of 
organizations in her community, in several different capacities. She 
has consistently played a proactive role in Surfside and was both the 
vice mayor and the commissioner of the city's government. She has also 
utilized her financial expertise in her positions of president of the 
Surfside Taxpayers Association and as the treasurer of numerous other 
organizations. These range from the PTA to Women in Government Service. 
Professional life aside, she has been the cornerstone of a family 
dedicated to public service, education and the improvement of their 
community.
  The fervor and ardor with which former vice mayor Novack devoted 
herself to the community and her family in conjunction with her life 
achievements are truly inspirational. I am proud to represent her as 
her Congresswoman and delighted to share with you her achievements.
