                         Tuesday, July 3, 2018

  Mr. CONNOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a dedicated group of 
men and women in Northern Virginia. Every year, each member of the 
Fairfax County Board of Supervisors selects two people from his or her 
district who have demonstrated outstanding volunteer service, heroism, 
or other exceptional commitments and contributions to our community. 
Since the program's inception in 1984, approximately 600 individuals 
have earned the honor of being named a Lord or Lady Fairfax by his or 
her representative on the Board of Supervisors.
  This year, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors will recognize 
those individuals who have made tremendous impacts through their 
support of our public schools, parks, youth sports leagues, arts 
community, public safety, and human service programs. It is nearly 
impossible to fully describe the diversity of accomplishments of the 
honorees. Their efforts contribute greatly to the quality of life for 
the residents of Fairfax County, and are worthy of our praise and 
sincere appreciation.
  It is my honor to include in the Record the names of the 2018 Lords 
and Ladies Fairfax:
  At-Large: Lady Gretchen Bulova and Lord Edward L. Long, Jr.
  Braddock District: Lady Meena Bhinge and Lord Tom Kennedy
  Dranesville District: Lady Carole L. Herrick and Lord Jeff Fairfield
  Hunter Mill District: Lady Carmen L. Powell and Lord Ronald Copeland
  Lee District: Lady Annetta Sheriff and Lord Robert Kohm
  Mason District: Lady Sarah Shannon and Lord Melvin L. Cotner
  Mount Vernon District: Lady Catherine C. Ledec and Lord Colonel 
Marion ``Barney'' L. Barnwell
  Providence District: Lady Fran Wallingford and Lord Tom Fleury
  Springfield District: Lady Lori Stillman and Lord Harold Y. Pyon
  Sully District: Lady Alice Foltz and Lord Steven Vandivere
  In addition, several students will be recognized as Celebrate Fairfax 
Community Spirit Scholars and Emerging Artist Scholars. I congratulate 
the following honorees on receiving these awards:
  Community Spirit Scholars: Kyle Gatesman, Sohale Hessavi, Cooper 
Rapp, Vandana Subramanian, Charisma Henry, Samantha Lane, Jonathan 
Daniel, Justin Laiti, Christine Shan, Sherry Xie
  Emerging Artist Scholars: Cameron Hobbs, Sun Ahn
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in commending and 
expressing our gratitude to these men and women who volunteer their 
time and energy on behalf of our community. Their efforts provide 
immeasurable benefits to their fellow residents and serve to strengthen 
and enrich the Fairfax County community
