                        Thursday, June 21, 2018

  Mr. CONNOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the recipients of the 
27th Annual Best of Reston Awards for Community Service. These awards 
are the result of collaboration between Cornerstones and the Greater 
Reston Chamber of Commerce, and are presented to individuals, 
organizations, and businesses whose extraordinary efforts make our 
community a better place.
  I have been proud to represent this community since my days as 
Chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. The level of civic 
engagement celebrated by these awards is a testament to the community 
spirit of Reston. I have often said that civic engagement is a key 
indicator of a healthy community, and tonight's event proves that 
Reston continues to be one of the healthiest communities in all of 
Northern Virginia. This is due in no small part to the actions of those 
honored here this evening, and I extend my congratulations to all of 
tonight's honorees. I also wish to thank Sara Leonard and Kerrie Wilson 
of Cornerstones, and Charles Kapur and Mark Ingrao of the Greater 
Reston Chamber of Commerce for their tireless efforts on behalf of 
others and in making our community one of the best places in the 
country in which to live, work, and raise a family.
   It is my honor to include in the Record the following recipients of 
the 2018 Best of Reston Awards:

       Marybeth Haneline--Engineering Inclusion and Making an 
     Impact
       Leslie Kane--Revealing the Beauty of Kindness
       Northwest Federal Credit Union Foundation--Launching Young 
     Lives
       Terry Redican--Reston's Coach for all Seasons
       Andy Sigle--Support that Sings
        SOSi--Serving Those Who Serve
       The 2018 Vade Bolton-Ann Rodriguez Legacy Award--Entrusting 
     Our Community's Future Recipient:
       South Lakes High School PTSA Food Pantry--Food from Heart 
     to Heart

   Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in congratulating the 
2018 Best of Reston honorees for their tremendous contributions. I 
thank Cornerstones and the Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce for 
continuing this wonderful tradition, and I express my sincere gratitude 
to these individuals, businesses, and organizations for lending their 
time and energy to the betterment of our community.
