                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 29, 2025

  Mr. MOSKOWITZ. Mr. Speaker, I along with my colleagues, 
Representative Wasserman Schultz and Representative Cherfilus-McCormick 
rise today to highlight and celebrate the 2025 Honorees of the Senior 
Hall of Fame, an esteemed tradition made possible through the tireless 
efforts of the Area Agency on Aging of Broward County, a cornerstone 
organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for older 
adults in our community.
  The Area Agency on Aging of Broward County is part of a vital 
statewide network of 11 Area Agencies on Aging across Florida. These 
agencies are tasked with coordinating a wide array of programs and 
services designed to help seniors live safely, independently, and with 
dignity in their own homes and communities. From meal delivery and 
transportation assistance to caregiver support and health education, 
the Agency plays a pivotal role in addressing the needs of our aging 
population.
  Each year, the Broward Senior Hall of Fame honors exemplary residents 
aged 60 and older who have selflessly dedicated five or more years to 
volunteer service in Broward County. These individuals embody the 
spirit of civic engagement and community service that strengthens the 
social fabric of our region.
  This year's distinguished honorees are Linda Hill Anderson, Sandra 
Atkins, Timothy G. Curtin, Barbara Effman, Helena Friedman, Susan 
Gilbert, Juanita Gray, Mona Malbranche, Melinda Montgomery, Dr. Irving 
Rosenbaum, Zeff Ross, Reverend Jesse Scipio, and Doris Tarlow. Their 
contributions have made a meaningful difference--from mentoring youth 
and supporting local nonprofits to improving access to healthcare and 
advocating for vulnerable residents. Their efforts are not only 
commendable but inspiring.
  We would also like to offer a special thank you to Charlotte Mather-
Taylor, CEO of the Area Agency on Aging of Broward County, whose 
visionary leadership and deep commitment to service have elevated the 
Agency's impact throughout our community. Her dedication ensures that 
our seniors continue to receive the respect, support, and recognition 
they deserve.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of Florida's 20th, 23rd and 25th Congressional 
Districts, we ask our colleagues to join us in congratulating these 
outstanding individuals for their extraordinary volunteerism and in 
recognizing the indispensable role the Area Agency on Aging of Broward 
County plays in honoring and serving our older citizens.
