                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 23, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Mrs. Mary O'Riley, of Creston, Iowa for being selected as 
Union County's 2015 inductee into the Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame.
  Mary will be inducted during a ceremony at the Iowa State Fair on 
August 23, 2015. She was chosen because of her long-standing devotion 
to 4-H and her commitment to helping each child develop to their full 
potential. She also is being recognized for 30 years of service as show 
ring announcer at the Union County Fair. Mary's additional 
contributions to 4-H include 13 years as a club leader, working with 4-
H as an extension employee, judging 4-H project work, and serving as a 
member and officer of the Union County Friends of 4-H Foundation.
  Mr. Speaker, the example set by Mary demonstrates the rewards of 
harnessing one's talents and sharing them with the world. Her efforts 
embody the Iowa spirit and I am honored to represent her, and Iowans 
like her, in the United States Congress. I know that all of my 
colleagues in the United States House of Representatives will join me 
in congratulating Mary for her achievements and wish her nothing but 
continued success.
