  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Alison Schieber of Saint Joseph, Missouri. Alison is active in the 
community and she has been chosen to receive the YWCA Women of 
Excellence Award for Woman in Volunteerism.
   As President of the Allied Arts Council, Alison is also serving on 
the Missouri Citizens for the Arts Board to advocate for the 
advancement of the arts through education. A Sustainer of the Junior 
League of St. Joseph, Alison is also a member of the Community Action 
Committee and a spokesman for the St. Joseph Public Library Modern 
Library Campaign.
   Alison is lauded for her ability to lead by example, understanding 
the important role the arts play in childhood development. Her advocacy 
for the arts led to her work with the Missouri Citizen's for the Arts 
as a lobbyist, working to remove the sunset clause on the Cultural 
Entertainment tax.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing Alison 
Schieber. She has made an amazing impact on countless individuals in 
the St. Joseph Community. I am honored to represent her in the United 
States Congress.
