                       Tuesday, February 23, 2010

  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Madam Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to honor 
the accomplishments and ongoing work of Mrs. Lydia Yeh and The Cultural 
and Educational Scholarship Foundation of the Chinese Women's Club of 
Greater Miami/South Florida.
  My Congressional district is blessed to enjoy the best of diversity 
in our melting pot of languages, races and cultures; and among them is 
The Chinese Women's Club of Greater Miami/South Florida, striving to 
fundraise and promote cultural activities.
  Their scholarship foundation's primary mission for the past 20 years 
has been to acknowledge talented young scholars of Chinese descent in 
the greater Miami area.
  Under the leadership of their founding President, Mrs. Lydia Yeh, and 
a group of dedicated members of the Chinese Women's Club, over two 
hundred outstanding high school, college and graduate students have 
received scholarship awards.
  On Sunday, December 27, 2009 they celebrated their 20th anniversary 
at Miami's Dadeland Marriott Hotel, where their scholarship recipients 
gave remarks to inspire the younger generations to come.
  Let us honor Lydia and the Chinese Women's Club's Scholarship 
Foundation, who seek to empower our youth and give them the tools to 
succeed in life.
