Archimedes Club Family Boat Weekend -- (House of Representatives - June 23, 2004)
(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 the Archimedes Club, especially its chairman, Doron Zilbershtein. This wonderful organization in my South Florida district will be holding its first annual boat race hosted by the Coconut Grove Sailing Club.
This event will allow selected families, teamed up with underprivileged families, to spend time together building boats that they will race to the finish line.
The Archimedes Club has shown an unwavering dedication to the community by developing character traits and social skills through boating activities. Its members will be donating their time and boating knowledge the weekend of July 23 to give water sports fans the opportunity to participate in challenging competitions.
The Archimedes Club plans to build on this race and to donate the boats that are built to other communities around Florida. This act shows the unselfish and unwavering commitment of the Archimedes Club to help others, and it does not stop at the local level.
For the sincere concern and the outstanding dedication to underprivileged families, I congratulate the Archimedes Club for all it has done. The members will inspire many more citizens to follow in their steps.
END
