         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.
