            TRIBUTE TO THE LAKE TO RIVER GIRL SCOUT COUNCIL

                                 ______


                      HON. JAMES A. TRAFICANT, JR.

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 12, 1994

  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, I rise here today to pay tribute to an 
organization and its members in my 17th Congressional District. The 
Lake to River Girl Scout Council was formed by the merger of several 
small councils on January 1, 1965. Since its inception, the Lake to 
River Girl Scout Council has developed self-awareness, social 
development, community service, fun and friendship in young women in 
Ashtabula, Trumbull, Mahoning, and Columbiana Counties.
  Girl Scouting is a movement that gives girls from all segments of 
American life a chance to develop their potential, to make friends, and 
to become a vital part of their community. Based on ethical values, it 
opens up a world of opportunity for girls, working in partnership with 
adult volunteers. Its sole focus is to meet the special needs of girls.
  I am very pleased to announce that the following girls have received 
the highest recognition in Girl Scouting, the Girl Scout Gold: Casey 
Brown, Kristin Saczalski, Mindy Howard, Emily Reel, Megan Smith, 
Melissa Epp, Meghan Marrie, Erica Maffitt, Sesha Gates, Kathy Gallo, 
Victoria Minkler, Samantha Feld, Chandra Walker, Julie Swindler, Jeneen 
Gregory, Danette Wasko, and Terri Elliott.
  To receive the Girl Scout Gold, the girls must work in four separate 
areas: careers, individual interests, leadership development, and 
community service.
  I join the citizens in my district in saluting these fine young women 
in their outstanding achievements. May God bless them with health, 
happiness, and continued success in their future endeavors.
