  Mr. DEUTCH. Madam Speaker, I am honored to rise today in recognition 
of the important work done by the Rotary Club of Boca Raton and to 
congratulate the recipients of their Outstanding People and Leaders 
(OPAL) awards. This year's honorees are Charles Bender, Rabbi David 
Steinhardt, Aubrey and Sally Struhl, and Art and Glorianne Polacheck. 
In addition, I would like to congratulate the recipients of the Boca 
Raton Rotary Club's Lifetime Legacy Award, Jim and Arlene Sclafani.
  Through their philanthropy, service, and selfless sacrifices, each 
honoree has touched countless lives and made a lasting impact on our 
South Florida community. The work they do and the time they have put in 
is truly deserving of these awards.
  I extend my most sincere congratulations to all of tonight's 
honorees. As we begin this new year, I am confident that the Rotary 
Club of Boca Raton will continue to be a cherished institution in South 
Florida that betters our community. I greatly appreciate the Club's 
work and am pleased to honor their OPAL and Lifetime Legacy Award 
honorees.
