PFEIFER KIWANIS CAMP AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SANFORD TOLLETTE
(Mr. HILL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the dedicated and
exceptional work of Mr. Sanford Tollette, the executive director of the
Joseph Pfeifer Kiwanis Camp in Arkansas.
The camp provides at-risk and underprivileged children throughout
Arkansas with the opportunity to enhance their education while
experiencing nature and the great outdoors. Originally a summer camp,
Mr. Tollette has transformed it into a year-round residential academic
intervention program.
A grateful mother from Arkansas recently shared with me the powerful
impact that the camp has had on her daughter's development, allowing
her to better interact with her friends and her classmates. Further,
the camp has provided critical guidance and information to the mother
to help her with her child's development.
Under his leadership, the camp has provided thousands of young
Arkansans with the opportunity to grow, learn, and build lasting
friendships. I commend Mr. Tollette for his fruitful efforts, and I
look forward to his continued success.
