                         RECOGNIZING JERI LEMKE

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize Jeri Lemke 
for receiving the Supporter of the Year Award from the South Dakota 
Habitat for Humanity. This is a prestigious award that reflects her 
hard work and dedication to eliminating poverty around the world. It is 
also a reflection of the valuable role she has played in giving back to 
her local community.
  Jeri Lemke with Okiciyapi Tipi Habitat for Humanity has worked to 
increase Habitat's influence in her local community. She is always 
available to assist Habitat and provides helpful guidance. Okiciyapi 
Tipi, of the Eagle Butte community, has been transformed by Jeri and 
her fine leadership.
  It gives me great pleasure to recognize Jeri Lemke and to 
congratulate her on receiving this well-earned award and wish her 
continued success in the years to come.
