                        Friday, November 6, 2009

  Mr. ALEXANDER. Madam Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise 
today to congratulate Margaret Beatty for being selected Queen 
Evangeline of the 41st International Acadian Festival in Iberville 
Parish.
  Margaret, a 17-year-old senior at St. John High School in Plaquemine, 
La., is the daughter of Donnie and Amy Beatty.
  The International Acadian Festival is sponsored by the Knights of 
Columbus, Council #970 of Plaquemine, which is the oldest Knights of 
Columbus Council in Louisiana.
  It is always outstanding to see the diligence with which the young 
students of Louisiana work to give back and better their communities. I 
have the highest confidence that Margaret will succeed in whatever 
endeavors she pursues.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in passing good wishes to Margaret 
Beatty, her family, and the entire International Acadian Festival. 
Margaret is truly deserving of this recognition.
