  Whereas, this phenomenal Proverbs 31 woman has shared her time and 
talents as a wife, mother and motivator, giving the citizens of Georgia 
a person of great worth, a fearless leader and a servant to all who 
wants to advance the lives of others; and
  Whereas, Mrs. Adams has been blessed with a long, happy life, devoted 
to God and credits it all to the Will of God; and
  Whereas, Mrs. Adams along with her family and friends is celebrating 
this day a remarkable milestone, her 100th birthday, we pause to 
acknowledge a woman who is a cornerstone in our community in DeKalb 
County, Georgia; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to honor and recognize Mrs. Adams on her 
birthday and to wish her well and recognize her for an exemplary life 
which is an inspiration to all;
  Now Therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr. do hereby proclaim 
April 15th , 2011 as Mrs. Nora Lee Adams Day in the 4th Congressional 
District.
  Proclaimed, this 15th day of April, 2011.
