PRAISING SAGE SAVOIA-DI GREGORIO
(Mr. PAYNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. PAYNE. Madam Speaker, I would like to take a moment to praise my
district's 2019 Congressional Award winner, Ms. Sage Savoia-Di Gregorio
from Maplewood, New Jersey.
This award is given to youth who achieve extraordinary results in
four different categories: public service, physical fitness, personal
development, and geographic exploration.
Sage was more than up to the challenge: She joined AmeriCorps and
built outdoor trails in Virginia; she renovated museums and education
centers in New Jersey; she helped clean and maintain a natural park in
Kentucky; and she provided disaster relief to victims of Hurricane
Florence in South Carolina--all this, while she maintained a strict
workout regime every week.
She deserves this award, and I am proud to call her a resident of the
10th Congressional District of New Jersey.
