HONORING ELIZABETH BRUNER
(Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize
Elizabeth Bruner of Blairsville, Pennsylvania. Elizabeth was recently
honored by the National 4-H Shooting Sports Teen Ambassador program.
4-H has a storied past across the country--in rural America in
particular--and has created youth programs that have fostered
agricultural innovation.
Some of Elizabeth's favorite 4-H activities include breeding and
market livestock, wildlife, forestry, and her favorite: shooting
sports.
Elizabeth was selected as one of two individuals by a committee of 4-
H educators from across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to be a teen
ambassador for Pennsylvania to promote 4-H and 4-H shooting sports.
Ambassadors receive training that they can take back to their
communities to advocate for 4-H at the county, regional, and State
level.
During her experience as an ambassador, Elizabeth will further her
skills in public presentation, citizenship, community service, as well
as many other areas.
I am certain Elizabeth will represent this organization and promote
its purpose well.
