                       HON. A. DREW FERGUSON IV-

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 20, 2021

  Mr. FERGUSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Mrs. Mary Reed, a 
distinguished member of the Columbus, Georgia, community, who recently 
celebrated her 100th birthday.
  Mary is part of the heartbeat of Columbus. Serving as the longtime 
Executive Secretary for the Rotary Club of Columbus, she prides herself 
on perfect attendance and leadership in helping others.
  She is an accomplished woman of God, a dedicated wife, mother, 
grandmother, and great-grandmother. Last month, in honor and 
recognition of her impact in the community, Columbus Mayor Skip 
Henderson proclaimed Friday, August 25, 2021, as Mary Reed Day, a 
fitting tribute.
  Madam Speaker, Mary Reed is a shining example of putting service 
above self, and our community is a better place thanks to her kindness 
and selflessness. I ask my colleagues to join me in wishing Mary a 
happy 100th birthday and thank her for her many years of service to our 
community.
