                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 18, 2014

  Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Laurie 
Everett of Cape Girardeau, Missouri for the inspiration she offers to 
the youth and women of Missouri.
  At age 22, Ms. Everett first enlisted in the U.S. Army. Her 
experience strengthened her ability to offer other women encouragement 
to persevere through the arduous transition of being away from home. As 
an entrepreneur and owner of Annie Laurie's Antiques, she mentors both 
female interns and professional women to support their professional 
development. In addition, to support at risk youth, Ms. Everett 
sponsored youth job trainings through the Myers Goodwill Workforce 
Investment Board of Southeast Missouri.
  Laurie Everett's achievements in business and dedication to 
mentorship have greatly influenced our community. It is my pleasure to 
recognize her efforts and accomplishments before the House of 
Representatives.
