  Mr. CRAMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Huntsville 
Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. for fifty years of 
service in the North Alabama community.
  Since its founding on April 24, 1954, the sisters of the Huntsville 
Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. have been an 
inspiration for young women in our area providing college scholarships 
and volunteering numerous hours helping others throughout North 
Alabama.
  Mr. Speaker, the Huntsville Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta, 
Inc. is most well known for its annual reception that recognizes and 
honors outstanding high school teachers and students. In addition, the 
chapter sponsors an educational and motivational program for young 
girls called ``Girls Empowered to Maximize Self-esteem,'' or GEMS.
  On March 28th, the Huntsville Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta 
Sorority, Inc. will hold its annual Founders' Day program. This year's 
celebration will be especially memorable and I rise today to join them 
in their fiftieth commemoration.
