                       Tuesday, October 21, 2003

  Mrs. MYRICK. Mr. Speaker, I would like to honor and recognize 
Charlotte City Councilman John Tabor. On October 28, 2003, John will be 
receiving the Leadership Charlotte Schley R. Lyons Circle of Excellence 
Award. This award recognizes a Leadership Charlotte graduate who 
demonstrates outstanding leadership qualities, and whose ideals are in 
line with that of Leadership Charlotte.
  The award John is to receive is truly deserved. For over a decade he 
has served the Charlotte community as a long-standing member and 
Chairman of the Charlotte Mecklenburg Planning Commission, on the 
Leadership Charlotte and Chamber of Commerce Leadership board, and as a 
member of the American Institute of Architects. He also sits on 
different committees for the North Carolina and Charlotte American 
Institute(s), and he is involved in many regional and local 
architectural projects, most notably the Blumenthal Arts Center. 
Currently, he serves as a Charlotte City Councilman and represents 
District 6.
  I commend John for his service to the Charlotte community, and 
congratulate him on receiving this prestigious award. His wife, Lee, 
and his children, Allie and John Paul, are also to be commended on 
their great sacrifices so that John can work to make Charlotte a better 
place to live and work.
