PROCLAMATION FOR CHARLIE SHERMAN FOR HIS TRADITION OF COMMUNITY SERVICE 
                  AND DEDICATION TO THE GRANITE STATE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. FRANK C. GUINTA

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 25, 2011

  Mr. GUINTA. Mr. Speaker, here in New Hampshire, we have a strong 
tradition of community service and dedication to our fellow Granite 
Staters, and no one exemplifies this better than my friend Charlie 
Sherman.
  For over 21 years, from radio to television, Charlie has become one 
of New Hampshire's most recognizable personalities. Whether it has been 
covering a high school football game on the 11 o'clock news or 
interviewing a presidential hopeful bright and early on his radio talk 
show, he has always exhibited an immense passion for the Granite State.
  Along with countless hours of bettering our community via the 
airwaves, Charlie Sherman has devoted his life to helping others 
through the dozens of charitable causes he has been involved with 
throughout the years. One such organization, the Special Olympics of 
New Hampshire, has been the biggest recipient of Charlie's big heart 
where he has helped raise over a million dollars for the cause through 
the annual Penguin Plunge.
  Charlie Sherman will now continue his commitment to our state through 
a new phase of his life as Executive Director of New Horizons. The 
Manchester-based adult homeless shelter and soup kitchen will certainly 
benefit from Charlie's life-long experience in devoting his life to 
helping others. Today, we wish him well in his new path and take this 
moment to thank him for all he has done and will continue to do for New 
Hampshire.
