  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable community servant Margaret Tate. Margaret has shown what can 
be done through hard work, dedication and the desire to serve others.
  Mrs. Tate and her husband, Nelson, are Yazoo City residents who make 
invaluable contributions to their community. Margaret volunteers at the 
Baptist Medical Center in Yazoo where she was named ``Volunteer of the 
Year'' in 2017.
  Margaret is a retired speech-language therapist of 32 years with the 
Holmes County School District. She is an active, dedicated member of 
King Solomon Missionary Baptist Church where she serves with Mother's 
Ministry. She is a lifetime member of the Mississippi Valley State 
University National Alumni Chapter where she serves as secretary. She 
is also a member of the MS Association of Retired Educators. Mrs. Tate 
volunteers at the Manna House helping to sort clothes and serve meals 
to the people in the community.
  Margaret enjoys reading, traveling and serving others. Her joining 
the hospital auxiliary volunteers provided this opportunity that has 
proven to be a rewarding experience.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Mrs. 
Margaret Tate for her dedication and tenacity to serving her community 
and desire to be an example for all.
