  Mr. MICHAUD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Shanna Rogers for 
being awarded the Geneva Kirk Award by the United Way Foundation of 
Androscoggin.
  The Geneva Kirk Award is given annually by United Way of Androscoggin 
to individuals who have exemplified exceptional volunteerism and 
service to their community. This award honors the memory of Miss Geneva 
Kirk who dedicated her life to serving and teaching others, 
volunteering in a multitude of ways throughout her community.
  Shanna was nominated by Androscoggin Head Start not only for her 
innumerable hours of community service to Head Start, but also for her 
involvement in many other organizations. Shanna works part time for the 
Neighborhood Housing League and part time at Marche's Restaurant. In 
her work with the Neighborhood Housing League, Shanna acts as an 
advocate for safe and affordable housing and as a mentor for tenants in 
the downtown area.
  Her tireless work with Androscoggin Head Start and Child Care, the 
Neighborhood Housing League, the Women's Wisdom Center and the Visible 
Community demonstrates a commitment to her neighbors that would have 
made Geneva proud.
  I am extremely honored to congratulate Shanna Rogers for receiving 
the Geneva Kirk Award.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me again in recognizing Shanna Rogers for 
her hard work within her community.
