                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 12, 2014

  Mr. DesJARLAIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Alexis Hardrick of 
Girl Scout Cadette Troop #1677, who recently earned the Girl Scout's 
prestigious Silver Award.
  The Silver Award is the highest honor a Girl Scout Cadette can earn 
and was presented to Alexis for her project on raising awareness about 
Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Additionally, Alexis also earned the Girl Scout 
Journey Award and completed over 50 hours of work and planning devoted 
to this cause.
  In the spring of 2013, Alexis began to research CF, a disease her 
sister has been diagnosed with. Shortly thereafter, she compiled a 
learning board exhibit which detailed the effects caused by CF.
  Over the next several months, Miss Hardrick traveled to various 
events around Lewisburg, Tennessee, discussing her learning board and 
arranging activities to promote a greater understanding of CF. 
Moreover, during the fall of 2013, Alexis enlisted the help of her Girl 
Scout Troop to host CF Awareness Day and from all accounts was a great 
success.
  On behalf of the people of Tennessee's Fourth Congressional District, 
I want to congratulate Alexis on receiving the Silver Award and thank 
her for her dedication and hard work in raising awareness for Cystic 
Fibrosis.
