  HONORING DAVE AND JULIE ZISKA'S SERVICE TO THE BOY SCOUTS OF SOUTH 
                                FLORIDA

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Madam Speaker, I rise tonight to congratulate Dave 
and Julie Ziska for 28 years of service to the Boy Scouts of south 
Florida. This year, the many individuals and families who have been 
enriched by the Ziskas gather together in Miami as Dave and Julie 
receive the 2009 Distinguished Citizen Award from the South Florida 
Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
  The Boy Scouts of America is an outstanding organization that fosters 
strong ideals in young men and helps build leaders for the future. With 
the Ziskas' amazing service and support, the Boy Scouts of south 
Florida has been able to successfully accomplish this mission. Dave and 
Julie Ziska have not only had a profound impact on the Boy Scouts but 
also on the families of the Scouts and the entire south Florida 
community.
  The Ziska's guidance and goodwill over the past 28 years has 
encouraged many young men to become active in Scouting. In fact, 207 
young men attained the distinct and high honor of being Eagle Scouts 
with their help.
  I congratulate and recognize Dave and Julie Ziska for their 
commendable service to the Boy Scouts of America and to the Boy Scouts 
of south Florida.
  Congratulations.
