                         Tuesday, July 22, 2008

  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Madam Speaker, on behalf of the United States 
Congress, it is an honor for me to rise today in recognition of the 
Escambia Federated Republican Women's Club upon their 50th anniversary.
  For the past 50 years the Escambia Federated Republican Women's Club, 
EFRWC, has been working to better the government at all levels. Since 
1958, these women have donated thousands of volunteer hours to ensure 
Republican victories in endless political campaigns. The election of 
countless county, State, and Federal representatives is due to the hard 
work and dedication of its spirited members.
  In addition to their civic dedications, the EFRWC is also a large 
force in the local community. Favor House, ARC Gateway, and the Ronald 
McDonald House are just a highlight of the local charities that have 
benefitted from the outstanding philanthropy of these women. The 
Lillian Baines Memorial Scholarship for Political Science and 
Communications students is another program funded by the EFRWC's 
benevolence. The group also benefits political education locally by 
mentoring young Republican women, thereby strengthening conservative 
values and viewpoints in the areas they serve.
  The EFRWC persistently serves the community and its volunteers play a 
vital role in the physiology of elections. They take on numerous 
responsibilities and assist with the vital aspects of campaign work. 
The women of EFRWC have exceeded the expected duties of volunteers and 
their 50th anniversary is evidence of their immense philanthropy. The 
EFRWC's dedication and devotion to Republican candidates benefits the 
entire community and their outstanding accomplishments have 
distinguished them as one of the great organizations in Northwest 
Florida. Escambia County is greatly indebted to their service and is 
honored to have them as one of their own.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I am proud to 
recognize the Escambia Federated Republican Women's Club on its 50th 
anniversary.
