CONGRATULATING THE 2014 LORDS AND LADIES FAIRFAX, THE RECIPIENT OF THE 
   JAMES M. SCOTT COMMUNITY SPIRIT AWARD, AND THE CELEBRATE FAIRFAX! 
                         VOLUNTEERS OF THE YEAR

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. GERALD E. CONNOLLY

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 17, 2014

  Mr. CONNOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a dedicated group of 
men and women in Northern Virginia. For the past 30 years, each member 
of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors has selected two people from 
his or her district who have demonstrated outstanding volunteer 
service, heroism, or other exceptional commitments and accomplishments 
to our community. Since the program's inception in 1984, more than 570 
individuals have been granted the honor of being named a Lord or Lady 
Fairfax by his or her representative on the Board of Supervisors. The 
Board also traditionally recognizes these individuals during a 
reception held in conjunction with the annual Celebrate Fairfax! 
Festival in June.
  This year, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors will recognize 
those individuals who have made tremendous impacts through their 
support of our public schools, parks, youth sports leagues, arts 
community, public safety, 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.
  It is my honor to enter the names of the following 2014 Lords and 
Ladies Fairfax into the Congressional Record:

       At Large: Lady Mary Keeser and Lord Rohil Bhinge
       Braddock District: Lady Monica Jackson and Lord Anthony J. 
     Vellucci
       Dranesville District: Lady Lauri Lacorte and Lord Jay 
     Donahue
       Hunter Mill District: Lady Baba Foster Freeman and Lord 
     Michael Amouri
       Lee District: Lady Tawny Hammond and Lord George F. Towery
       Mason District: Lady Terry O'Hara Lavoie and Lord Jan 
     Reitman
       Mt. Vernon District: Lady Mary J. Porter and Lord Colonel 
     Gregory D. Gadson
       Providence District: Lady Merni Fitzgerald and Lord James 
     M. Scott
       Springfield District: Lady Karen Brown and Lord Paul 
     Liberty
       Sully District: Lady Lu Ann Maciulla McNabb and Lord 
     Phillip W. Allin

  I also commend the following recipients of the James M. Scott 
Community Spirit Award and the Celebrate Fairfax! Festival Volunteers 
of the Year Award:

       James M. Scott Community Spirit Award: Fairfax Water
       Celebrate Fairfax! Festival Volunteers of the Year Award: 
     Galen and Tara Munroe

  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in expressing our 
gratitude to these men and women who volunteer their time and energy on 
behalf of our community. The selfless commitment of these individuals 
provides enumerable benefits to their fellow residents and serves to 
strengthen and enrich the Fairfax County community.
