         HONORING CALVARY CHILDREN'S HOME, COBB COUNTY, GEORGIA

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. BOB BARR

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, August 2, 2001

  Mr. BARR of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, Rev. Snyder Turner is an untiring 
servant to the needy children of Cobb County, Georgia. Rev. Turner's 
greatest accomplishment is that he has managed Calvary Children's Home 
since 1971. Rev. Turner has received numerous awards and widespread 
recognition for his work with children. His commitment to providing a 
haven for disadvantaged children makes him an invaluable asset to Cobb 
County and surrounding communities.
  Calvary Children's Home provides long-term care for abused, 
abandoned, and underprivileged children. The home has operated in Cobb 
County since 1966, and has continually expanded its ability to care for 
even more children. In 1997, Calvary moved to a new location in Powder 
Springs. This new facility allows the Home to care for 20 to 30 
children at one time. Calvary Children's Home provides care to children 
for as long as they need it; there is no age at which care must stop.
  This year marks the 30th anniversary of Rev. Turner's leadership at 
Calvary Children's Home. I would like to extend to Rev. Turner my 
admiration for his work with the children of Cobb County. I hope Rev. 
Turner's work and dedication to his community continues for many years 
to come.
