     CONGRATULATING THE CHILDREN'S TRUST ON THEIR 20TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. GIMENEZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GIMENEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate The Children's 
Trust on their 20th anniversary.
  My wife, Lourdes, and I have been longtime supporters of The 
Children's Trust and are so proud of their tireless work to protect our 
community's children and safeguard taxpayer dollars.
  I would especially thank our friends, David Lawrence and James Haaj. 
Their visionary leadership has paved the way for the countless 
innovative programs offered by The Children's Trust aimed at improving 
the lives of our next generation of leaders: our children.
  In Miami-Dade, we are blessed to have The Children's Trust 
prioritizing our kids' welfare and investing in family programs to 
nurture and advocate for all of our children regardless of 
socioeconomic background.
  As a county commissioner, mayor, and now a Member of Congress, I have 
seen the impact of The Children's Trust firsthand, and I look forward 
to continuing to work closely together.
  Congratulations on these 20 years and many, many more.
