  Mrs. BACHMANN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Minna Zhou of 
Woodbury, Minnesota, who was recently chosen as a 2007 Young Woman of 
Distinction by the Girl Scouts of the United States of America.
  Minna has proven herself to be an outstanding young woman through her 
involvement in Girl Scouts, for which she has received their highest 
honor, the Gold Award.
  She has also become involved. in her community by developing and 
teaching biweekly classes to adopted Chinese children focusing on 
Chinese language, culture, holidays, music and dance.
  At the same time, Minna has published a newsletter sharing this 
information with her students' parents, to create a mutual 
understanding and appreciation of their children's background, and 
helped her students organize a recital showcasing their knowledge.
  Madam Speaker, I applaud the important goals of Minna's classes, and 
I am extremely proud of Minna's dedication to volunteerism in her 
community. She is a remarkable young leader, and I hope my colleagues 
will join me in recognizing her accomplishments.
