  Ms. FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 
centennial anniversary of Lake Worth, Florida, a diverse and vibrant 
city in my district. Since its incorporation on June 4th, 1913, Lake 
Worth has grown into a lively community of 36,000 people.
  Currently under the leadership of Mayor Pam Triolo, Lake Worth is a 
world-class tourist destination. It boasts one of the longest municipal 
piers on Florida's Atlantic Coast, a unique downtown, and over 1,000 
historical buildings. Lake Worth is also home to the Palm Beach County 
Cultural Center, which has delighted art-lovers and patrons of all ages 
since its founding in 1978.
  Founded by former slaves, Lake Worth is one of the most diverse 
cities in Florida. Today, it boasts over 50 different nationalities. 
Its rich cultural history continues to promote a sense of hard work, 
diversity, and inclusiveness.
  In honor of Lake Worth's centennial anniversary, I am proud to 
recognize this dynamic community for their past successes and wish them 
a bright and prosperous future.
