                           HON. VIRGINIA FOXX

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 6, 2006

  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I rise this evening to recognize and 
congratulate Miss Kelly Nicole Bryant for being selected to represent 
the State of North Carolina in the 2006 National Cherry Blossom 
Festival. Kelly has strong ties to North Carolina's Fifth District, as 
she is the granddaughter of Juanita Bryant and the late Frank Bryant of 
Boonville.
  Kelly has already represented our state at the festival's traditional 
Japanese lantern lighting ceremony. She has attended several embassy 
parties and has toured the White House and Kennedy Center.
  Tonight, I am looking forward to meeting Kelly at the National Cherry 
Blossom Congressional Reception. I wish her well for the remainder of 
her stay in Washington. On Saturday she will represent North Carolina 
in the National Cherry Blossom Parade.
  Kelly is a junior at East Carolina University, where she is majoring 
in Political Science and minoring in history. She is on the Dean's List 
and is a Member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars. Kelly 
has made a positive difference in her community by volunteering for the 
Exploris Museum, Habitat for Humanity, Relay for Life and the Race for 
the Cure.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Miss Kelly Bryant for 
being an outstanding representative for the State of North Carolina.
