                       Thursday, October 25, 2007

  Mr. McGOVERN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Emily 
Peeples of Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. A talented and intelligent young 
woman, Emily has been named one of the recipients for the Eleanor 
Roosevelt Humanitarian Youth Award from the Shrewsbury Democratic Town 
Committee.
  A graduate of Shrewsbury High School, Emily was active in all parts 
of high school life. She was an officer of the Young Democrats in 
addition to other groups, and was on volleyball and lacrosse teams. She 
was elected to Anti-Defamation League Interfaith Youth Leadership Camp, 
which teaches acceptance and community involvement. Emily also achieved 
the Silver Award for Girl Scouts during her time in high school.
  Now a freshman at the University of Wisconsin, Emily is continuing 
her involvement. She has joined the College Democrats, the Campus 
Liaisons, and is running as a freshman representative to the student 
council.
  I would like to take this moment to wish Emily luck on her campaign 
and ask my colleagues to help me honor her for winning this award.
