  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Madam Speaker, in the Fourth Congressional 
District of Georgia, many community organizations are called to aid in 
sustaining a healthy lifestyle for all citizens.
  Under the leadership and guidance of the Dekalb Community Service 
Board, thousands have been assisted with treatment and support for 
Mental Health, Development Disabilities and Addiction Services.
  The Dekalb Community Service Board has demonstrated the will and 
desire to aid citizens in need since 1994 and continues today to be a 
beacon of light to our country.
  Our beloved county and community benefit from the fruits of the labor 
that the Dekalb Service Board members and staff have invested.
  This unique board has given of themselves tirelessly and 
unconditionally to preserve integrity, uplift their fellow citizens and 
make this a better place.
  The community service board has created an Annual Walk of Heroes to 
allow everyone to come out in support of the work of the Service Board.
  I was pleased to proclaim July 21, 2007 as Dekalb Community Service 
Board Foundation Day in the 4th Congressional District.
