  Ms. CASTOR of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate a true 
public servant, Sarah Stroud Wynn in honor of her 100th birthday. Her 
remarkable career in public service has had a tremendous impact on the 
Tampa Bay community and is worthy of recognition by all.
  Born in Rock Hill, South Carolina, Ms. Wynn moved to Florida at a 
young age. She graduated from Florida A&M College and the University of 
South Florida. Her diligent, caring nature and passion for service made 
Ms. Wynn an effective advocate for education. During her nearly 40 
years of public service, Ms. Wynn taught elementary school students as 
well as served as a junior high school librarian. Through her tireless 
work, she has impacted a countless number of students' lives.
  Ms. Wynn's outstanding service did not end with her work in 
education. She used her tremendous talent and vision for the good of 
Florida families by volunteering as a tax preparer for those needing 
assistance. She is also active in church as a supporter of Sunday 
school, White Robe Choir member, and secretary of the Trustee Board.
  Ms. Wynn has always been an engaged community leader. She serves as a 
member of the Greater Tampa Urban League, the Retired Teachers 
Association, and the Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority. Her engagement and 
tireless work has created a legacy for her family and the Tampa Bay 
community at large.
  Ms. Wynn has embodied servant leadership throughout her life. The 
education of the children of the Tampa Bay community is forever 
bettered thanks to her everlasting service. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of a 
grateful Tampa Bay community, I am proud to recognize Sarah Stroud Wynn 
for her lifelong service to the State of Florida and wish her a happy 
birthday.
