                BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS OF CENTRAL WYOMING

  Mr. BARRASSO. Mr. President, on Tuesday, August 9, 2011, I will have 
the honor of announcing the Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Wyoming's 
Youth of the Year at their annual award and recognition breakfast. This 
event is a wonderful celebration. In addition to the Youth of the Year, 
the Boys and Girls Clubs will honor two of Wyoming's own: Vice 
President Dick Cheney and Lynne Vincent Cheney. They are being 
recognized for their devotion and commitment to the youth in our 
communities and across the State of Wyoming. While both of these 
distinguished individuals have received many honors and accolades, to 
be recognized by the Boys and Girls Clubs is very special to them.
  The Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Wyoming is a great organization 
that continues to have a positive impact in the lives of youth. They 
serve all children, regardless of economic circumstances. Dedicated 
staff and volunteers enthusiastically work with the students, creating 
an environment that fosters their positive growth and development. 
Young people are provided the tools and opportunities needed to 
succeed. Hundreds of kids benefit each year from the Boys and Girls 
Clubs.
  The mission of the Boys and Girls Clubs is to create a better future 
for its members through focusing on positive outcomes: academic 
success, good character and citizenship as well as healthy lifestyles. 
At this year's awards and recognition breakfast, three outstanding 
young people will be honored and one will be chosen as the 2011-2012 
Youth of the Year. These young citizens have excelled in all of the 
positive outcomes, and serve as excellent examples for other youth to 
follow.
  Jessica Treto is a sophomore at Kelly Walsh High School. She loves to 
play card games with younger club members and admits she hardly ever 
wins. Jessica wants to be a counselor because she enjoys helping 
people.
  Chrissy Stufft is also a sophomore at Kelly Walsh High School. She is 
a cheerleader and plays third base on her softball team. Her favorite 
television show CSI has inspired Chrissy to be a forensic scientist.
  Anthony MacMillan is a junior at Natrona County High School. Anthony 
is an avid swimmer. Due to his love for cooking, he wants to be a 
pastry chef.
  Mr. President, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating 
Jessica, Chrissy, and Anthony. Knowing of these fine young people gives 
me the confidence that the future of America is in good hands.
