                     Wednesday, September 22, 2010

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I would like to request the 
House's attention today to pay recognition to Ms. Elizabeth ``Liz'' 
Ware Sims who will be honored by The Historic Shiloh Missionary Baptist 
Church.
  Ms. Sims was born in Notasulga, Alabama, to the late Tommie and Emma 
Ware. She was their sixth child out of eight. She attended Shiloh 
Rosenwald School, Tuskegee Institute High School and after graduation, 
attended a business college in Montgomery, Alabama.
  She worked for thirty-three years at Tuskegee University and then ten 
more at Auburn University.
  In 2006, she began working for The Shiloh Community Restoration 
Foundation. Later, on August 5, 2010, Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church 
and The Shiloh Rosenwald School were listed on the National Register of 
Historic Sites.
  Ms. Sims has two daughters, Charlene and Catrina, and three 
grandsons, Trey, Phillip and Caleb.
  The celebration honoring her will be held on October 3, 2010, at The 
Historic Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church.
  I congratulate Ms. Sims for her good works in the community.
