  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize 
the Lake-Sumter State College (LSSC) Foundation, Inc. as they celebrate 
their 35th anniversary on April 16, 2016.
   Founded in 1980, the Lake-Sumter State College Foundation supports 
Lake-Sumter State College's mission of developing community through 
education. Since its founding, the LSSC Foundation brings together 
individuals, businesses, and organizations to support the Lake-Sumter 
State College through the funding of projects that enhance the quality 
of teaching and learning. These projects include classroom and athletic 
equipment, the library, the nursing program, the computer lab, and 
support for students and faculty.
   The LSSC Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of 
leaders in our community who are dedicated to equipping students with 
the essential tools for fulfilling careers and empowering them to be 
leaders within their community. In the spirit of providing educational 
opportunities for our community's students, the LSSC Foundation, Inc. 
awards more than $500,000 in scholarships each year to help students 
invest in their futures. The LSSC Foundation has had a paramount impact 
on the lives of students, and many have benefited from its generous 
contributions. In the past 12 years, the LSSC Foundation has grown from 
$3 million in assets to more than $16 million in assets, bolstering the 
education and passions of future generations.
   I am thankful for the Lake-Sumter State College Foundation and their 
tremendous contributions to our community. The future of our nation is 
in the hands of our young people, and the Lake-Sumter State College 
Foundation's investment in them cannot be over appreciated.
