  Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize a group of 
individuals who have selflessly dedicated themselves to the betterment 
of their community. Each year, the Reston Association recognizes 
individuals who have gone above and beyond with the Volunteer Reston 
awards. Reston is well known to be a shining example of civic 
engagement and this event, held during National Volunteer Week, honors 
those who have made significant impacts on the lives of others and the 
community. In Fairfax County, we are blessed with an incredible 
abundance of generosity of spirit and the individuals who are being 
honored with these awards are the embodiment of that spirit.
  It is my honor to include in the Record the names of 2019 Volunteer 
Reston award winners:

success in all their future endeavors.
