                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GINNY BROWN-WAITE

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 9, 2003

  Ms. GINNY BROWN-WAITE of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
recognize the South Lake Memorial American Legion Auxiliary #55 on 
their Anniversary. Sixty-six years ago this Auxiliary was founded by 
the brave veterans of World War I and has been serving their community 
ever since.
  Most recently, they were recognized as one of the strongest promoters 
of the ``Spinoza Bear Program''. This is a compassionate crusade that 
brings a smile to thousands of grieving children.
  Their commitment to public service is renewed every year as they 
sponsor two young women to attend Girl's State, a wonderful program 
that has been developed to foster political activism in our nation's 
youth. They are involved in countless other activities that promote 
community involvement by their members.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to call the men and women of the South Lake 
Memorial American Legion constituents, and I ask that you join with me 
today to congratulate them on their service to our nation.

                          ____________________
