                       Monday, February 25, 2008

  Mr. MITCHELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Ms. Megan 
Yee, who has been selected as a Distinguished Finalist for the 
Prudential Spirit of Community Award, which honors young people for 
outstanding acts of volunteerism. The Prudential program was created in 
1995 to emphasize the importance our nation places on service to 
others, and to encourage all young Americans to contribute to their 
communities.
  A senior at Desert Mountain High School in Scottsdale, Arizona, Megan 
organized a series of computer classes to teach members of the Phoenix 
area's Chinese-American community how to use word-processing programs, 
spreadsheets, e-mail, and the Internet. Megan worked hard to design the 
curriculum, recruit volunteers to teach the classes, prepare all of the 
lesson plans, and teach classes herself.
  Megan should be proud of her accomplishments. Again, I congratulate 
Megan on her award and thank her for a job well done.
