                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 24, 2023

  Ms. LEE of Florida. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to celebrate the 
centennial anniversary of Florida Blue Key.
  As the state of Florida's oldest honors society, Florida Blue Key's 
history is a story of service and honor.
  Originally organized to put together a parent's weekend for a 
university football game, Florida Blue Key now sponsors the entire 
university's homecoming including Gator Growl, the largest student run 
pep rally in the country.
  I draw on the lessons I learned in Florida Blue Key every day, as 
have so many others before me in the United States House of 
Representatives and United States Senate.
  One hundred years later, Florida Blue Key remains the most 
prestigious leadership honorary in the Sunshine State. I am grateful 
for my time in Florida Blue Key and wish them continued success in the 
century ahead.
