                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 23, 2018

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Beta Sigma Phi. This organization was presented with the 
Spirit of Christmas Award from the Salvation Army at their annual 
dinner on May 9, 2018.
  Beta Sigma Phi is an international women's sorority that began 
working with the Salvation Army in 1989. Every year, the Salvation Army 
provides toys for the women inmates at a nearby prison to select as 
Christmas presents for their children. Beta Sigma Phi then wraps and 
packs the gift for shipping, so that the children have presents at 
Christmas.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend Beta Sigma Phi for receiving this outstanding 
award and for their continued commitment to making their community 
better. I am proud to represent them, and Iowans like them, in the 
United States Congress. I ask that my colleagues in the United States 
House of Representatives join me in congratulating this group of women 
and in wishing them nothing but continued success.
