  Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize and congratulate the 
recipients of the 2020 Dale City Civic Association awards. With the 
core values of compassion and a true sense of community, Dale City 
Civic Association honors community members who are making a positive 
impact in their city.
   The Dale City Civic Association stages this annual banquet to honor 
those in their community who have gone above and beyond the call in 
their service to our community. This banquet and the awards serve a 
strong purpose by helping strengthen the community's foundation and 
welcoming neighborhoods in Dale City. Improving the quality of life in 
Dale City for their residents is the goal of the Dale City Civic 
Association and these award recipients have made that goal much more 
achievable. From teachers to public safety officials, to those who 
volunteer in their free time, these civil servants show why it is 
imperative to have individuals like them who selflessly dedicate their 
time and efforts to make sure their community is prepared for the 
challenges of the day while laying the groundwork for a better 
tomorrow. Their great work should be a model to us all, and it is my 
honor to enter into the Record the following honorees of the 2020 Dale
