  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Kappy Hodges of Saint Joseph, Missouri. Kappy is active in the 
community through her work and has been chosen to receive the YWCA 
Women of Excellence Emerging Leader Award.
  Kappy Hodges is a walking testament to the power of volunteerism and 
what a positive affect it can have on a community. Kappy was a founding 
board member of the Saint Joseph chapter of Big Brothers/Big Sisters. 
She has been recognized for her work with the Junior League and has 
been praised for her work to support Animal Shelter and Rescue. She has 
also been a diligent fund raiser and coordinator for large community 
projects like Trails West! and the Apple Blossom Pageant.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing Kappy 
Hodges. She has already made an amazing impact on countless individuals 
in the St. Joseph community. I am honored to represent her in the 
United States Congress.
