  Over the past 37 years the Pontiac Club of the National Association

good of all people. At the ceremony Lillie Nicholas will receive the 
Sojourner Truth Award, Hobert Maxey will receive the the Frederick

  Mr. Speaker, the Pontiac Club of the National Association of Negro 
Business and Professional Women has given over $36,000 in scholarships. 
This has enabled many African American students to pursue further 
education. I ask the House of Representatives to join me in commending 
the Club and their members for their contributions to the Pontiac area 
and their efforts to promote education.
