  Mr. CONNOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Volunteer 
Prince William Board of Directors and special events volunteers.
   Founded in 1981, Volunteer Prince William connects generous and 
selfless citizens throughout the county with volunteer opportunities 
and charity work. The program fosters a civically engaged public 
sensitive to community needs and ready to donate their time and energy 
when needed. Dozens of nonprofits are able to fill out their ranks of 
volunteers using the connections and referrals made by Volunteer Prince 
William.
   It is my honor to submit the names of the members of the Board of 
Directors of Volunteer Prince William: JP Godoy, Sarah Harrover, 
Michael Higgins, Nora Jewell, Uriah Kiser, Nancy Lindgren, Mark Mason, 
Eileen Pugh, Lianetta Ruettgers.
   The Un-Trim-A-Tree Holiday Gift Program is one example of how 
Volunteer Prince William leverages individual volunteers into organized 
programs that have an impact on the community. In October 2012, the 
Ladies of the Blue and Gray Ball organized the first annual Boo Ball 
fundraiser. The Ladies were able to provide gifts to over 100 children 
at the Boo Ball and aid in the funding of 7,540 gifts for children at 
the Un-Trim-A-Tree Holiday Gift Program.
   It is my honor to submit the names of the Ladies of the Blue and 
Gray Ball who organized the Boo Ball to support the Un-Trim-A-Tree 
Holiday Gift Program: Sarah Harrover, Nora Jewell, Nancy Lindgren, 
Sandie Myers, Bridget Mullins, Andrea Oswald, Sharon Owen.
   Additionally, it is also my honor to submit the names of the 
volunteers who volunteered their time and efforts for the Un-Trim-A-
Tree Holiday Gift Program: Nyeem Braxton, Barbara Breyfogle, Steven 
Breyfogle, Birdie Carrier, Kaleil Cherry, David Cobb, Shiayn Cooper, 
Kelly Cooper, Ashley Dennie, Maria DiBisceglie, Dominique Fontenot, 
Michael Hale, Mary Hull, Chris Kennedy, Natalie Kennedy, Wendy Minke, 
Keiona Morris, Dasha Quinn, Karen Raiford, Mitze Roman, Kim Roman, Jody 
Senna, Kathy Simmons, Jacki Tinsley, Shirley Vance, Adam Will, Kathy 
Wortman.
   Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in commending the 
members of the Board of Directors of Volunteer Prince William, the 
Ladies of the Blue and Gray Ball, and the volunteers who assisted with 
the Un-Trim-A-Tree Holiday Gift Program.
