RECOGNIZING JEWISH COMMUNITY SERVICES 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. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jewish
Community Services of South Florida and its upcoming annual Milk &
Honey event, which will take place on August 30 and starts at the
Greater Miami Jewish Federation.
This tremendous, faith-based, nonprofit organization has worked to
improve the lives of South Florida residents since 1920. It is one of
our State's largest and most reliable social service organizations.
Among the many important services that the JCS of South Florida
provides are those focused on supporting our elderly. This year's Milk
& Honey event will, again, bring together hundreds of volunteers to
assemble food baskets and hurricane preparedness kits for vulnerable
South Florida seniors.
My community liaison, Harriet Carter, and I have participated in many
events of the JCS of South Florida, and I thank all the volunteers who
will make this year's Milk & Honey event a smashing success.
