  Mr. CONNOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise in recognition of the Second Annual 
Finer Womanhood Brunch hosted by the Psi Omicron Zeta Chapter of Zeta 
Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated of Manassas, Virginia.
  This year's Finer Womanhood Brunch theme is ``Blazing New Paths in 
Scholarship and Global Service'', intended to inspire and encourage 
students and teachers to strive for success in every venture, and pride 
in every accomplishment.
  Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated was founded on the campus of 
Howard University on January 16, 1920. Its sorority members and 
auxiliary groups provide volunteer service and professional talent to 
educate the public, assist youth, fund scholarships, support organized 
charities, and promote legislation for civic and social change that 
enrich our communities.
  Chartered on November 6, 2010, the Psi Omicron Zeta Chapter of Zeta 
Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated assists the Greater Prince William area 
through sisterhood, scholarship, and service.
  Each year, the members of the Psi Omicron Zeta Chapter, invite area 
residents to gather at the Hylton Performing Arts Center to celebrate 
and recognize the accomplishments of two deserving high school seniors 
planning to attend institutions of higher learning. Each student will 
receive a scholarship for her perseverance and commitments to academic 
excellence. In addition, one noteworthy teacher will be bestowed the 
honor of ``Teacher of the Year'' for her work in and out of the 
classroom to shape the hearts and minds of future leaders.
  I congratulate the following individuals as the 2018 Finer Womanhood 
Brunch honorees:
  High School Scholarship Winners:
  Miss Samreen Azam, Gar-Field High School
  Miss Eva Kemal, Woodbridge High School
  Teacher of the Year:
  Mrs. Perpetua Magalhaes, Stonewall Jackson Senior High School
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in commending the Psi 
Omicron Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated and in 
congratulating the two scholarship recipients and 2018 Teacher of the 
Year honoree.
