                      CONGRATULATING GEORGIA ABBEY

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
recognize and congratulate Georgia Abbey on her recent retirement as 
executive director of Leadership Centre County.
  Leadership Centre County was founded in 1991 and is dedicated to the 
development of qualified leaders within the Centre County community. 
Over the years, more than 1,000 members have graduated from the program 
who then went on to be committee chairs, board members, and volunteers 
in Centre County organizations. I am proud to be one of those 
Leadership Centre County graduates.
  LCC has eight different values that all members strive to illustrate. 
These values include gratitude, mutual respect, and inclusion. The 
organization believes that effective leaders improve the quality of 
life for their communities.
  For the past 21 years, Georgia Abbey has played a major role in 
achieving the goals of Leadership Centre County. Her result-oriented 
and high-energy management of LCC has contributed greatly to the 
tremendous success of this organization.
  Madam Speaker, I wish Georgia and her husband, Kevin, all the best in 
the next phase of life following retirement.
