                HONORING MARION COUNTY YOUNG REPUBLICANS

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GINNY BROWN-WAITE

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 18, 2003

  Ms. GINNY BROWN-WAITE of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor 
the Marion County Young Republicans, in my fifth congressional district 
of FLorida. The Group was just named the Young Republican Club of the 
Year at the National Federation of Young Republicans' Conference this 
past weekend in Boston, Massachusetts, and I could not be prouder.
  The Marion County Young Republicans was founded just two years ago 
and has already ascended to great heights, receiving duly earned 
recognition on a national scale for its endeavors.
  The group was instrumental in my election to Congress. Several other 
lawmakers here in Washington and in Tallahassee owe their positions to 
this group and to groups like them.
  I am pleased to have such an outstanding group of hard-working, young 
Republicans in my district and am proud of all they have accomplished. 
In a letter to his members, Chapter President Tim Harding praised the 
group and reminded them that while this most recent accolade was most 
certainly an affirmation of success, the group must still rise to meet 
upcoming challenges and achieve the goals the group has set for itself. 
It is because of leadership like this that I am confident the Marion 
County Young Republicans will continue to succeed and do great things 
for the Republican Party in the state of Florida.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in congratulating the Marion County 
Young Republicans for all they have achieved. I honor their service and 
their commitment to the party.
