  Ms. PINGREE of Maine. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate those 
in my State being honored with Governor's Award for Volunteerism. The 
following Maine people and organizations have showed exemplary 
commitment to donating their time and energy to help others:
  Volunteer of the Year Julia Brown, Service-Learning Practitioner 
Donna Vigue, Outstanding National Service Volunteer Elisabeth 
Lohmueller, Youth Volunteer Julia Brown, Corporate Volunteerism honoree 
Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, Outstanding School District Sanford, and 
Outstanding Nonprofit Volunteer Program Trekkers.
  In a cynical world that calls us to believe no one does something for 
nothing, these volunteers and thousands more like them continue to give 
us hope and belief in each other's goodness.
