                       Wednesday, March 17, 2010

  Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
the opening of a new BB&T branch location in Haymarket, Va.
  The branch location at the corner of Heathcote Boulevard and Route 15 
serves Western Prince William County and creates six new jobs for the 
region. The staff of the BB&T Haymarket branch are responsible stewards 
of their community with affiliations to the Dominion Valley Woman's 
Club, Gainesville Haymarket Rotary Club, Prince William Chapter of the 
American Red Cross, Prince William County Greater Manassas Chamber of 
Commerce, Haymarket Gainesville Business Association, Girl Scouts of 
America, George G. Tyler Elementary Parent Teacher Association and 
Haymarket Regional Food Bank.
  I would like to extend my personal congratulations to the staff of 
the new Haymarket branch on the occasion of their ribbon cutting and 
commend them for their culture of robust civic participation.


                              Branch Staff

       Amelia J. Stansell, Assistant Vice President & Financial 
     Center Leader; Liliana Grassa, Teller Supervisor; LaKeta 
     McSellers, Relationship Banker; Shadia Shaikh, Relationship 
     Teller; Erick Cabrera, Teller; Sherry Bobbitt, Area 
     Operations Officer.


                         Senior Leadership Team

     Wallis, Regional Banking Manager; Sherri Hagenbuch, Sales & 
     Service Leader for Prince William County; Michael Pybus, City 
     Executive for Prince William County.

  Madam Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in celebrating the 
opening of the new BB&T branch in Haymarket, Va. A business that 
encourages its employees to take an active role in civic life makes an 
investment far beyond that of bricks and mortar. It strengthens civic 
bonds and leaves an indelible mark on the character a community. I look 
forward to having a lasting community partner in BB&T's Haymarket 
branch.
