                      Wednesday, November 16, 2016

  Mr. DEUTCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Impact Broward and 
the critical work they do in South Florida. This vital organization has 
served Broward County through a dedicated commitment to providing at-
risk children, veterans, senior citizens, and other individuals with 
the resources and care that they so urgently need.
  Each day, Impact Broward provides students with academic assistance, 
offers support to veterans, assists struggling senior citizens, and 
supports Broward County Non-Profits. These programs exist because of 
the strong commitment of all Impact Broward's staff, and I would like 
to especially acknowledge their President and CEO, Peter Kaldes, for 
the exceptional work that he has done to ensure that all Broward County 
residents get the care and support that they need.
  Congratulations to today's honorees: Dr. Philip Greenberg of the 
William ``Bill'' Kling VA Clinic, receiving the 2016 Edith S. Lederberg 
Wisdom in Action Award; Bruce Williams of the Pride Center, receiving 
the Lifetime Achievement Award; Deputy Lauren Apollo of the Broward 
Sheriff's Office, receiving the Individual Award; Whole Foods Market, 
receiving the Award of Excellence; Flora Lathem of the Foster 
Grandparent Program, receiving the Robert Scott Public Service Award 
for Volunteering with Children; Jacqueline Coleman, receiving the 
Senior Companion Volunteer Award; Lisa Pohle, receiving the RSVP 
Seniors, Teachers Achieving Reading Success Volunteer Award; and 
American Express receiving the Corporate Excellence Award.
  I express deep appreciation for Impact Broward's great work. Their 
dedication to provide struggling individuals with critical attention 
and support is noble.
