                         Tuesday, June 19, 2012

  Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a 
dedicated group of men and women in Northern Virginia. For the past 28 
years, each member of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors has 
selected two people from his or her district who have demonstrated an 
exceptional commitment to our community. Since the program's inception 
in 1984, nearly 500 individuals have been recognized as a Lord or Lady 
Fairfax by their representative on the Board of Supervisors. I was 
pleased to take part in this annual ritual and recognize many 
outstanding community volunteers during my 14 years on the Board.
  Individuals recognized as Lords and Ladies of Fairfax have made 
significant contributions

in their communities. This year, the Fairfax County Board of 
Supervisors recognized outstanding individuals who have made tremendous 
impacts through their support of our public schools, parks, youth 
sports leagues, arts community, public safety providers, and human 
service programs. It is nearly impossible to fully describe the 
diversity of accomplishments by the honorees. Their efforts contribute 
greatly to the quality of life for the residents of Fairfax County and 
should be commended.
  The following individuals have been recognized as Lord and Lady 
Fairfax honorees for 2012. Each of these individuals was selected as a 
result of his or her outstanding volunteer service, heroism, or other 
special achievements. These individuals have earned our praise and 
appreciation.
  At Large: Lady Kathy Albarado and Lord Delbert Sheads.
  Braddock District: Lady Tessie Wilson and Lord Doug Brammer.
  Dranesville District: Lady Jacqueline D. Taylor and Lord Robert H. 
Jackson.
  Hunter Mill District: Lady Jenifer Joy Madden and Lord Frank de la 
Fe.
  Lee District: Lady Martha Lloyd and Lord Don Hinman.
  Mason District: Lady Sue Hotto and Lord Ben Hester.
  Mt. Vernon District: Lady Diana York and Lord James C. Rees.
  Providence District: Lady Vivian Morgan-Mendez and Lord Mark D. 
Meana.
  Springfield District: Lady Breeana G. Bomhorst and Lord Robert Scott 
Brown.
  Sully District: Lady Jennifer Campbell and Lord John R. Cleveland.
  I also commend the following recipients of two additional awards; the 
James M. Scott Community Spirit Award and the Celebrate Fairfax! 
Festival Volunteer of the Year Award. The James M. Scott Community 
Spirit Award recognizes a sponsor, organization or individual who has 
exemplified strong advocacy and commitment to Celebrate Fairfax, Inc. 
and its efforts to develop community through events, and the Celebrate 
Fairfax! Festival Volunteer of the Year Award selects one volunteer out 
of 1500 to be recognized for extraordinary efforts to ensure that the 
festival, which will be held this weekend at the county government 
center, and affiliated CFI programs are successful.
