                         TRIBUTE TO LORNA GROW

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 8, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Lorna Grow for her 50 years of leadership with the Sugar 
Grove Sunshine 4-H Club, which celebrated its 100th anniversary on 
September 24, 2016.
  Since 1965, Lorna has served as the Sugar Grove Sunshine 4-H Club 
leader, guiding and encouraging its members through fair projects, 
shows, and other activities. Head, Heart, Hands and Health are the 
tenets of 4-H. Lorna embodies them all. Her influence has been evident 
in the lives of so many area families. A former member said Lorna 
encouraged her to do a presentation to quell her fear about public 
speaking to a large group at the Iowa State Fair which now, in 
adulthood, she does on a regular basis. Another former 4-H Club member 
made sure her own children joined Sugar Grove Sunshine 4-H Club because 
of the guidance and skills taught by Lorna, including how to can 
vegetables and sew clothing. Lorna meets with every member of the Club 
regularly and on an individual basis, encouraging them in their growth 
as individuals and to experience new adventures they might not 
otherwise have.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend Lorna for her outstanding leadership. Her 
dedication as a 4-H club leader has influenced so many over the past 50 
years. It is an honor to represent her and Iowans like her in the 
United States Congress. I ask that my colleagues in the United States 
House of Representatives join me in congratulating her and in wishing 
her nothing but continued success.
