On the recordFebruary 27, 2002
in 1912 Henrietta Szold founded what is now the largest women's and the largest Jewish membership organization in the United States, Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization of America. This year marks its 90th anniversary, celebrating continuous efforts of more than 400,000 Hadassah members in Florida alone. Some of the outstanding women of Hadassah in my own south Florida congressional district are Alecia Sachs, the regional president; Mildred Riesenberg, the 90th anniversary Chair; Phyllis Goldman, the major gifts fund-raising coordinator; Mindy Tucker Olofson, membership coordinator; and Pam Brown, Woman of the Year Chair. Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring the spirit of volunteerism and community service that thousands of Hadassah members perform each and every day. Congratulations to each Hadassah member in the Nation.
