                         TRIBUTE TO ALICE SMITH

 Mrs. LINCOLN. Mr. President, today I congratulate Alice Smith 
for being named the 2009 Citizen of the Year by the Clarendon Chamber 
of Commerce.
  According to those who know her best, Alice is a dedicated community 
volunteer, spending countless hours of her time helping others 
throughout the Clarendon community. A long-time volunteer with the Boy 
Scouts, Alice also serves as President of the Clarendon Chamber of 
Commerce and is a member of Visions for Clarendon, the Clarendon 
American Legion Auxiliary, and a board member for the Monroe County 
Human Development Center. Alice also fought to save the annual 
Clarendon Christmas parade when it was on the verge of cancellation due 
to lack of funds and participation.
  I have felt a long kinship to Clarendon, and I am grateful for the 
friendships I have made there. Clarendon is a community with a great 
spirit of volunteerism and caring. We should all embrace Alice's spirit 
of service and volunteerism. I send my heartfelt congratulations to her 
and her family.
