                      RECOGNITION OF EARTH ANGELS

 Mr. BOND. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to the 
Earth Angels in my home State of Missouri. Earth Angels received the 
Award for Environmental Sustainability from Renew America. They were 
among twenty-eight winners from more than 1,600 applicants who 
exemplify Earth Day.
  Earth Angels is a branch of the Guardian Angel Settlement Association 
in St. Louis, Missouri. The group is made up of more than 150 inner 
city children and led by Neil Andre, Director of Earth Angels. Their 
projects range from recycling to planting trees in their Forest of Life 
to collecting money for other environmental groups. The group is 
supported by selling ``Earth Angel stock.'' People who buy into the 
group get a quarterly newsletter with their latest project updates. 
Earth Angels gives ``at risk'' children a chance to be part of an 
important cause and organization.
  Commending Neil Andre and the Earth Angels for their Award for 
Environmental Sustainability, I wish them continued success in the 
future. It is extremely gratifying to learn of a group of children 
doing so much to help our environment. Congratulations for a job well 
done.
