  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, it's with great honor that I rise today 
to recognize the Keep Tennessee Beautiful organization for receiving 
the Keep America Beautiful State Affiliate Innovation Award for their 
publication of Nancy and Sluggo Love Tennessee: A Story About Keeping 
Tennessee Beautiful.
  Written and illustrated by Guy Gilchrist, this story showcases the 
remarkable attractions, natural resources, and historic landmarks of 
the great state of Tennessee, all while promoting the importance of 
taking care of our community by recycling and not littering. Nancy and 
Sluggo Love Tennessee is a treasured keepsake that educates children 
and instills a sense of pride in being a Tennessean.
  As proven by their achievement, Keep Tennessee Beautiful does 
outstanding work in innovatively educating and engaging the young minds 
in our community and I applaud their dedication to our state.
