                        Wednesday, July 12, 2000

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize Ms. Marion Shroyer of 
Vandalia, Illinois for all her outstanding contributions towards her 
community.
  Marion has received several awards for her outstanding public 
service. She has received the ``Abe Award,'' which is presented to a 
person for their outstanding contributions to their community. A tree 
was planted, in her honor, on the lawn of the Old State Capitol of 
Illinois for her outstanding citizenship.
  She is an active leader in her church and dedicates much of her time 
to helping the elderly by taking them to the hospital and visiting with 
them in the nursing homes. Marion is an active leader in the 
Schoroptomist Club and has been a Real Estate Broker for over 20 years. 
She is a mother of two, a grandmother of six, a great grandmother of 
three and a role model for us all.
  I want to applaud Marion for all her years of service to the great 
townspeople of Vandalia. For all you have done and continue to do, I 
thank you.
