  Mr. GOSAR. Madam Speaker, today I rise to recognize the Assistance 
League of Southern Utah for its outstanding work in assisting

students in my district. You may ask, why is a Congressman from Arizona 
recognizing a group from Utah? Well, it just speaks to its generosity 
and the great impact this organization is having in my district.
  This great organization is providing art supplies for 85 sixth-grade 
students in the communities of Beaver Dam and Colorado City, Arizona. 
These communities are located in the geographically isolated Arizona 
Strip, which is north of the Grand Canyon, near the Utah border. For 
context, to travel to almost any other part of Arizona takes hours 
because you cannot drive over the Grand Canyon, Madam Speaker.
  The intent of this program is to stimulate creativity in these young 
people and give them activities to keep their minds active once the 
school day is over. Each student is provided with items such as 
coloring books, markers, and colored pencils and are given creative 
license to create whatever they like.
  In addition to the art program, the Assistance League also organizes 
an annual campaign called Operation School Bell. This program provides 
clothing to disadvantaged students and this year will include a 
literacy program to greater enrich the minds of these students.
  I would sincerely like to thank the Assistance League's President 
Gail Neumann and Vice President Kay Minor for being willing to serve 
their neighboring state and their immeasurable impact on the Beaver Dam 
and Colorado City communities.
