  Mr. CASTLE. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise today 
to recognize the achievements of Angenae Marie Zaahir-Bey upon her 
selection as the Girls Inc. ``Girl of the Year 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.
  As this award demonstrates, Ms. Zaahir-Bey is a determined young 
woman who serves as a role model to all of her peers. She is an 
outstanding member of Girls Inc. and is always willing to help others--
going above and beyond what is expected. Ms. Zaahir-Bey recently 
graduated from P.S. Dupont Elementary School and received a 3.9 grade 
point average for the year. In addition, she received the ``Young 
Brandywine Artist Award,'' high honors, and ``Reader of the Month'' in 
the Delaware Tech National M.S. Society Readathon.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend and congratulate Ms. Zaahir-Bey and Girls Inc. 
for their dedication to improving and enhancing the lives of women. Ms. 
Zaahir-Bey's involvement with Girls Inc. and selflessness serves as an 
example to us all. She is an exemplary young Delawarean.
