                        Tuesday, April 22, 2008

  Mr. MARCHANT. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Shannon 
Michael on achieving the Girl Scout Gold Award. Receiving the Gold 
Award is a testament to Miss Michael's leadership, citizenship, and 
service to her community.
  For her Gold Award project, Shannon Michael organized volunteers from 
her church, Girl Scouts, and a senior center to donate baby supplies 
and materials to make baby blankets. Miss Michael then taught younger 
girls how to sew and knit the blankets which were given to Metrocrest 
Social Services to distribute to needy families with babies.
  The Girl Scouts of America promotes a positive influence for young 
women of today. I am honored to represent Shannon Michael in earning 
the highest award bestowed in Girl Scouts. I commend her commitment and 
dedication for the betterment of her life, her community, and her 
country.
