                    CONGRATULATING ANNELISE BERGERON

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. RODNEY ALEXANDER

                              of louisiana

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 8, 2011

  Mr. ALEXANDER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Ms. Annelise 
Bergeron for being chosen as Queen Evangeline of the 43rd International 
Acadian Festival held annually in Iberville Parish. The International 
Acadian Festival is sponsored by the Knights of Columbus, Council #970 
of Plaquemine, La, which is the 3rd oldest K.C. council in the State of 
Louisiana.
  It always brings about personal pride to see young students of the 
Bayou State achieving their goals while simultaneously working to give 
back and improve their communities. This talented young woman is 
currently a senior at St. Joseph Academy in Baton Rouge. I have the 
highest confidence that Annelise will succeed in whatever endeavors she 
pursues.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in passing good wishes to Annelise 
Bergeron, her family, and the International Acadian Festival. Annelise 
is truly deserving of this recognition.
