                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 18, 2006

  Mr. WAMP. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Everett Roberts from 
my home town of Chattanooga, TN, for his unending efforts on behalf of 
the Girl Scouts of Moccasin Bend Council, who, on Sunday May 21st, will 
be dedicating their building on Dayton Boulevard to him for his years 
of tireless service and devotion.
  Everett has served on the Board of the Moccasin Bend Council for 
almost 40 years as a member and chairman, and has been a vital asset to 
the Council's growth and success.
  As the first male president of the Council in 1972, he is described 
by both friends and colleagues as a very special person who dedicates 
all of his energy to the improvement of the world around him.
  Everett has been instrumental in developing Camp Adahi, the Girl 
Scout resident camp on Lookout Mountain in Georgia to provide outdoor 
programs for tens of thousands of girls, and his selfless commitment to 
the Girl Scouts serves as just one example of his vigorous dedication 
to the people and city he loves.
  I want to take this opportunity to express my sincerest appreciation 
and gratitude to Mr. Everett Roberts for all he has done and continues 
to do for both the Girl Scouts of Moccasin Bend and the overall 
community in Chattanooga. He serves as a shining example of integrity, 
loyalty and leadership and I am proud to stand here on his behalf 
today.
