                   HONORING PALM BEACH COUNTY NULITES

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ALCEE L. HASTINGS

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 10, 2007

  Mr. HASTINGS of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
NULITES of the Urban League of Palm Beach County. NULITES is the 
National Urban League Incentive To Excel and Succeed. These fine young 
people focus on academic achievement and are actively involved in 
improving their communities. The Palm Beach County chapter has been 
awarded NULITES Chapter of the Year for the third time. Having been 
chosen from among NULITES chapters across the country, this is a very 
impressive accomplishment of which we can all be very proud.
  Fadley Charles, a Florida State University student who is president 
of the chapter, stressed that, as Chapter of the Year, Palm Beach 
County NULITES have a ``responsibility to strive for better, respect 
all others, celebrate achievement, create a better future, care for 
each other and promote an empowering environment like no other.'' With 
three individual winners of scholarships in addition to Chapter of the 
Year honors, obviously, Palm Beach County NULITES are fulfilling their 
promise. It is my very great pleasure to recognize them today, and I 
know we will be hearing more good things about them in the future.
