ILEANA ROS-LEHTINEN\n\n                               of florida\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                       Friday, December 18, 1998\n\n  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay a tribute to an\noutstanding citizen; a leader who places others before herself and a\nfine lady who has dedicated her life to community service and to\nimproving the lives of others, Ms. Cynthia Eckhart.\n  For the past eight years, Cynthia has expressed and demonstrated\ngenuine concern for various social issues affecting South Florida and\nhas committed herself to improving the quality of life for many South\nFloridians. Although her presence is not always highly visible, her\nefforts for the Miami community are strongly felt. Cynthia has devoted\nherself to raising funds for charities such as improving the health\ncare for our community, where she has assisted in the allocation of\nfunds for leukemia and various cancer research. She has had the grand\nopportunity to serve as the Chair of a school's auction, where she was\nable to raise $87,000 to provide quality, private school tuition for\nmany of South Florida's underprivileged and less fortunate children.\n  On November 6th, 1998, I was privileged to speak at the 45th annual\ngala for Beaux Arts of the Lowe Art Museum at The University of Miami.\nThere I witnessed first-hand Cynthia's dedication and contributions to\nour community. The wonderfully conducted gala that Cynthia organized\nraised generous funds to provide permanent acquisitions for the Lowe\nArt Museum. As Chairman of this gala, Cynthia raised an additional\ncharitable amount to be used to fund visits to the museum and\neducational art programs for children of low-income families. It is\nCynthia's unselfish and loving nature that has enabled many\nunderprivileged youth to be introduced and encouraged in pursuing\nculture in the world of the arts.\n  Cynthia's involvement in our community is exemplary of a committed\nand concerned individual who seeks to extend a helping hand to those in\nneed. In giving much of her time, her energy and herself, Cynthia\ncontinues to be a true leader, an inspiration to many, and an example\nto all. South Florida is grateful and proud of her many accomplishments\nand service to our community. We wish her the very best for continued\nsuccess!\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-1998-12-18-pt1-PgE2345-2"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 23.11662503052503, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
