                IN RECOGNITION OF CHARLOTTE McGALLICHER

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. BARBARA COMSTOCK

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, December 16, 2016

  Mrs. COMSTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize the tremendous 
work of my constituent Ms. Charlotte McGallicher of Round Hill, 
Virginia. Ms. McGallicher is a graduate and Student Ambassador of 
Monroe Technology Center where she received a certification in 
residential and commercial air conditioning, refrigeration and heating 
equipment repair. This fall she will attend the University of South 
Alabama to study nursing. Whether assisting local businesses with her 
HVAC certification or helping Loudoun County parents and students as a 
Student Ambassador, she always makes a positive contribution to her 
community.
  In her most recent undertaking, Ms. McGallicher helped a local 
business owner, June Bush of Lothar's Gourmet Sausages in Purcellville, 
save her malfunctioning freezer whose manufacturer had gone out of 
business. Without a warranty, June was ready to throw away the freezer 
and buy a new one. But Ms. McGallicher--with the help of her HVAC 
teacher, Marty Park, and her fellow classmates--identified the 
freezer's problem and fixed it. Putting her skills to work, Ms. 
McGallicher was able to lend a helping hand to a neighbor in need.
  Today, science, technology, engineering and math are critical to the 
future of our nation. It is young STEM leaders, like Ms. McGallicher, 
who will help the United States maintain its vital lead in the global 
economy for the next generation. I strongly encourage Ms. McGallicher, 
and all of my constituents, to continue exploring and developing their 
talents.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in applauding Ms. 
Charlotte McGallicher for her dedication to serving her community and 
helping others. I wish her all the best in all her future endeavors.
