                                 ______


                         HON. HOWARD L. BERMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 20, 1994

  Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to pay tribute to Delores 
Barker, a person dedicated to improving the quality of life in Sylmar, 
where she has lived for many years. Her wide range of activities 
include her service as president of the Sylmar Kiwanis Club, which 
recently honored her for her outstanding leadership.
  During her tenure, Delores was instrumental in bringing interesting 
programs to the Kiwanis Club, and she was at the forefront of efforts 
to reinstate the annual employee and employer recognition dinner and 
the youth achievement dinner. As president and as a member of the 
various committees of the Kiwanis Club, she worked very hard to bring 
together all segments of the community.
  In addition to the Kiwanis Club, Delores also was quite active with 
the chamber. She served as president of the Sylmar Chamber of Commerce 
women's division for 2 years. Among her many projects in this capacity 
were her work to restore the Pioneer Cemetery and her active 
involvement in the fingerprinting program sponsored by the local PTSA.
  Sylmar is indeed fortunate to have a resident as dedicated as Delores 
Barker, who obviously cares deeply about her community and its people. 
Her selflessness and energy are an inspiration to us all.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in saluting Delores 
Barker, an asset to her community and a valued member of the Kiwanis 
Club. Her contributions to Sylmar are second to none.
