                         Monday, July 24, 2017

  Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I 
honor Pembroke Pines City Commissioner Carl Shechter.
  In recognition of Mr. Shechter's tremendous work on behalf of 
Pembroke Pines residents, the city has dedicated its Southwest Focal 
Point Community Center Campus in his name.
  The Carl Shechter Southwest Focal Point Community Center provides 
services and programming that promote the wellbeing of Pembroke Pines 
residents. Whether it is Adult Day Care services for seniors or 
educational and recreational programs for families, the Center unites a 
broad array of individuals from across Southwest Broward County.
  It is fitting that the center be named for Commissioner Shechter as 
he has always been devoted to enriching the lives of others. He is an 
extraordinary public servant, and all who walk through the doors of the 
Carl Shechter Southwest Focal Point Community Center shall now be 
reminded of his compassionate leadership.
  I am proud to call Carl my friend and recognize him today for his 
selfless contribution to our community. I wish Commissioner Shechter 
and his family a heartfelt congratulations on this momentous occasion.

                          ____________________
