                       HONORING MRS. EVELYN HICKS

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. ROBERT B. ADERHOLT

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 24, 2018

  Mr. ADERHOLT. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to honor Mrs. Evelyn 
Hicks of Winston County, Alabama. Mrs. Hicks is retiring from managing 
her local school cafeteria at Lynn School in Lynn, Alabama which is 
located in the Fourth Congressional District that I represent. I am 
honored to recognize Mrs. Hicks for her dedication to ensuring our 
children have nutritious and edible food. It should also be noted that 
she was honored on May 23, 2018 at Lynn School with a reception for her 
many years of service.
  Mrs. Evelyn Hicks was born in my home county of Winston to Truman and 
Alice Baughn. She is a graduate of Lynn School and has been a member of 
Concord Missionary Baptist Church for 57 years. She has been married to 
Roy Hicks for 52 years. They have two daughters and four grandchildren. 
Mrs. Hicks also served on the Winston County Board of Education from 
2000 to 2004.
  Mrs. Hicks also played a major role in providing my office with ``on 
the ground'' feedback into how school lunch restrictions were having a 
negative effect on her job of feeding children. Because of Mrs. Hicks's 
assistance, we have been able to roll back many of the harmful 
restrictions and provide solutions that give

kids healthy food, while at the same time providing food they will 
actually eat and enjoy.
  Mrs. Evelyn Hicks has been, in every sense, a devoted and passionate 
advocate for the children she has helped feed throughout her many years 
through school nutrition. I am proud to call Mrs. Hicks a friend and a 
fellow Alabamian, and she is truly deserving of this recognition from 
the United States House of Representatives.
  I wish her all the very best for the future in all that she is 
involved with.
