                        Tuesday, March 11, 1997

  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Bonnie Miller, a 
dedicated community leader who is being honored as an inductee into the 
San Mateo County Women's Hall of Fame.
  Bonnie Miller, a member of the board of directors of the Fair Oaks 
Community Center, conducted several fundraising efforts which resulted 
in the group being able to provide food for many people who would 
otherwise have gone without. She organized her community to make the 
Taft School a drug-free zone, and was a founding member of a coalition 
which developed the Taft/Healthy Start Family Center in 1995. She is 
the owner of a small business and has been active in the Women's 
Financial Information Program, a 7-week course that was designed to 
help women conquer their fear of finances. She has raised seven 
children and received the Unsung Hero Award from the Redwood City 
Interservice Club and the Sequoia Award for Outstanding Volunteerism.
  Mr. Speaker, Bonnie Miller is an outstanding citizen and I salute her 
for her remarkable contributions and commitment to our community. I ask 
my colleagues to join me in honoring and congratulating her on being 
inducted into the San Mateo County Women's Hall of Fame.
