              RECOGNIZING CHARLES AND MADDIE FINKENBINDER

                                 ______

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 9, 2020

  Mr. HILL of Arkansas. Madam Speaker, today I rise to recognize eight-
year-old Maddie Finkenbinder and her father, Charles, who are working 
hard to provide reusable water bottles to students across Conway, AR 
elementary schools.
  When water fountains were disabled to stop the spread of the 
coronavirus in schools, Maddie went straight to her jewelry box to 
collect all her allowance and gave it to her father to purchase water 
bottles for her classmates.
  Since then, their work has grown, providing water bottles to five 
elementary schools in Conway, and the educators and administrators of 
Conway Public Schools are thankful. Charles and Maddie show the true 
heart of CPSD and the Conway community.
  I'd like to thank the Finkenbinders for their honorable work and 
encourage them to keep looking out for their neighbor.
