     CONGRATULATING WOMEN OF TOMORROW ON ITS 10TH ANNIVERSARY GALA

  (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. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a great South 
Florida organization: Women of Tomorrow. This month, Women of Tomorrow 
will hold its annual gala, celebrating 10 years of making a difference 
in the lives of young women.
  Women of Tomorrow was founded in 1997 by South Florida journalist 
Jennifer Valoppi and Telemundo President Don Browne. Their goal was to 
help at-risk young women live up to their full potential. The result 
has been a truly unique organization that pairs accomplished 
professional women with small groups of at-risk teenage girls in high 
schools. The mentors come from varied backgrounds: lawyers, doctors, 
entrepreneurs and public servants. They show their mentees that 
anything is possible and nothing is out of their reach.
  Congratulations, Women of Tomorrow, on 10 amazing years, and I know 
that the next 10 will be even better.
