                        RECOGNIZING BETTY WALKER

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Betty Walker of Roaring 
Gap, North Carolina. This remarkable and talented woman has been the 
coordinator for the Alleghany Memorial Hospital Thrift Shop for 15 
years.
  Betty began volunteering at the Thrift Shop in 2000 and became 
coordinator in 2003. During her time as coordinator, Betty has expanded 
and renovated the Thrift Shop in addition to managing its volunteers.
  The Alleghany Memorial Hospital Thrift Shop opened in 1991 and has 
raised nearly $1 million for Alleghany Memorial Hospital. Those funds 
are extremely important in this small county.
  In 2011, Betty and the shop's volunteers received the Governor's 
Award for Volunteer Service, which recognizes the top 20 volunteers in 
North Carolina.
  Betty Walker is an extremely dedicated volunteer, a role model for us 
all, and a pillar in her community. Alleghany County is fortunate to 
call this hardworking citizen one of its own.
