  Mrs. MYRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise in honor of the 50th anniversary of 
The Symphony Guild of Charlotte, North Carolina.
  The Symphony Guild of Charlotte is dedicated to youth music education 
through its many projects which offer young people throughout the 
Charlotte Metropolitan Area varied opportunities to experience 
classical music. The Guild has supported the Charlotte Symphony Youth 
Orchestra and the Junior Youth Orchestra and has solely underwritten 
the Summer Resident Music Camp for over 30 years, sponsored the Young 
Artists Competition for over 20 years, and the Youth Festival for 14 
years.
  The Summer Resident Music Camp, the Youth Festival, and the Symphony 
Guild ASID Showhouse have received national recognition by the American 
Symphony Orchestra League and serve as models for other nonprofit 
organizations throughout the Nation.
  The Guild has also been recognized locally for its long, continuous 
commitment to the cultural fabric of the Charlotte community with the 
prestigious Spirit Award from Royal and SunAlliance and the Mint 
Museum.
  For these reasons, I am honored to recognize the Symphony Guild of 
Charlotte for its achievements and help them in celebrating 50 years of 
support for symphonic music.
