                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 27, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Sue Beck of Kellerton, Iowa for receiving a 2015 
Governor's Volunteer Award. Starting in 1983, the Governor's office 
began awarding state employees who displayed a commitment to 
volunteerism by helping with various projects or programs within their 
communities. Since its implementation the award has expanded to any 
member of the public that displays the necessary attributes for 
receiving this award.
  Sue is a prime example of the dedication and commitment to service 
that Iowans are known for. She selflessly gives her time to programs 
like the South Central Iowa Community Foundation, which aims to improve 
the quality of life all across the south central region of Iowa through 
the implementation of charitable funds. Each year, they donate more 
than $1 million to various organizations in the region.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I stand here today and 
recognize Sue for her many years of service and dedication to others in 
her community. Her volunteerism embodies the Iowa spirit and I am 
honored to represent her, and Iowans like her, in the United States 
Congress. I know that all of my colleagues in the United States House 
of Representatives will join me in congratulating Sue for her 
achievements and wish her nothing but continued success.
