                     Wednesday, September 14, 2016

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I ask for the House's attention 
today to recognize Mayor LaFaye Dellinger, who is retiring as Smiths 
Station Mayor after 15 years of service.
  LaFaye Dellinger graduated from Smiths Station High School and has 
proudly served as the first mayor of Smiths Station for the past 15 
years.
  During her tenure, she established strong relationships with the 
surrounding municipalities including Fort Henning, Georgia and 
pioneered the partnership between the City of Smiths Station and Lee 
County to make the Smiths Station Sports Complex a reality.
  She was instrumental in obtaining the current City Hall and is past 
President of the Ruritan Community Club. Mrs. Dellinger is a loving 
wife and mother.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing my friend Mayor Dellinger 
and wishing her well in her retirement.
