    RECOGNIZING THE WOMEN OF TOMORROW MENTOR AND SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize an 
outstanding group from my congressional district, south Florida, the 
Women of Tomorrow Mentor and Scholarship Program: its founder, Jennifer 
Valoppi; its sponsor, NBC Channel 6; and, of course, their board of 
directors, Don Browne, Katherine Fernandez-Rundle, Donna Feldman, Judge 
Judy Kreeger, Marita Srebnick, and Sherry Williams, for their steadfast 
commitment to the women of our south Florida community.
  Women of Tomorrow is a mentor and scholarship program designed to 
guide, to inspire, and to help at-risk young women achieve their true 
potential through education, job training, resume-building, and skill 
development.
  We as a society have a profound obligation to enrich the lives of all 
of our citizens, and Women of Tomorrow fulfills that obligation by 
encouraging young women to achieve their dreams and embrace their true 
dignity.
  I am proud of all of those who are associated with Women of Tomorrow 
for their continuing efforts to improving the lives of south Florida's 
youth.
