  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Lori Ann Foutz who is 
the recipient of the 2006 Nevada Young Mother of the Year Award.
  Lori graduated from Brigham Young University in 1989 with a 
bachelor's degree in art education and a minor in health. She and her 
husband, Tracy Foutz, moved to Henderson in 1990 where he has worked 
for Clark County and the city of Henderson as a city planner. They have 
four children: Lance Tracy, Travis Lee, Jaclyn Beth, and Victoria Jo.
  Lori has been a weekly classroom volunteer in her children's classes 
for the past 12 years, specializing in fun Halloween parties, campaign 
manager for her kid's student council elections and homecoming floats. 
She has served as chairman for the PTA Reflections Art contest for 10-
year-olds.
  Lance and Travis have achieved their Eagle Scout award, run cross-
country and played volleyball in high school. All four children have 
participated in soccer and basketball, and the girls attend dance 
classes.
  Lori is very active in the LDS Church and has served as president of 
the Young Women's Organization and is currently the president of the 
women's auxiliary, the Relief Society. She is responsible for more than 
150 women, seeing to their temporal and spiritual needs.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Lori Ann Foutz today. She is 
a fine example of motherhood and I commend her for her service to the 
State of Nevada.
