  Mr. CASTLE. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise today 
to recognize the achievements of Alicia Clark upon her selection as a 
Girls Inc. ``Strong, Smart and Bold Award Winner'' in Delaware.
  Girls Inc. is a nonprofit youth organization dedicated to inspiring 
our nation's young women to reach their goals. On this, its 50th 
Anniversary, I take great pride in honoring Girls Inc. and the 
wonderful young Delawareans who have achieved success through the 
guidance of this special program.
  Ms. Clark is the Vice-President and Interim President of the 
Metropolitan Wilmington Urban League, where she focuses on economic 
development and education for African Americans and other minorities. 
She has been involved in Girls Inc. for many years and was once the 
director of the Kiwanis Branch and the statewide director of programs 
and operations. Ms. Clark has done much to improve the lives of her 
fellow citizens and her hard work, enthusiasm, and commitment is much 
appreciated.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend and congratulate Ms. Clark and Girls Inc. for 
their dedication to improving and enhancing the lives of women. Ms. 
Clark's involvement with Girls Inc. and her many years of devoted 
service to our community is an example to us all. She is an inspiring 
and exemplary Delawarean.
