                        Friday, January 10, 2014

  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to commemorate the 
90th anniversary of the establishment of Belle Isle, Florida.
   Founded in 1924 to preserve Lake Conway and the surrounding chain of 
lakes, the name ``Belle Isle'' was selected to resemble the French 
phrase ``beautiful island.'' The local natural resources, including 
parks and extensive waterways, facilitate Belle Isle residents' active 
outdoor culture. Additionally, Belle Isle is home to nearly 100 
businesses that include iconic local restaurants and stores. Small 
communities like Belle Isle are the cornerstones of American culture 
and economy.
   It is a privilege to serve the residents of Belle Isle, and I thank 
them for their tremendous contributions to the Central Florida 
community.
