  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I submit the following 
proclamation.
  Whereas, one hundred years ago a virtuous woman of God, Curtis 
Lucille was born in Lawrenceville, Georgia on January 7, 1912 to Frank 
and Gussy Hutchins; and
  Whereas, she was raised up at Macedonia Baptist Church in Gwinnett 
County, Georgia, and she married Mr. John W. Sanders and she had one 
son, Mr. Porter Lucas, Jr., and one daughter, Ms. Lizzie Ruth Flanigan 
and eleven grandchildren; and
  Whereas, this phenomenal Proverbs 31 woman has shared her time and 
talents as a Wife, Mother and Motivator, becoming a Georgia citizen of 
great worth, a fearless leader and a servant to all by always advancing 
the lives of others; and
  Whereas, Mrs. Sanders has been blessed with a long, happy life, 
devoted to God and credits it all to the Will of God; and
  Whereas, Mrs. Sanders along with her family and friends are 
celebrating this day a remarkable milestone, her 100th Birthday, we 
pause to acknowledge a woman who is a cornerstone in Lithonia, DeKalb 
County, Georgia; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to honor and recognize Mrs. Sanders on her 
birthday and to wish her well and recognize her for an exemplary life 
which is an inspiration to all;
  Now Therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr. do hereby proclaim 
January 7, 2012, as Mrs. Curtis Lucille Sanders Day in the 4th 
Congressional District of Georgia.
  Proclaimed, this 7th day of January, 2011.
