  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Bernadette Plotnikoff, 
a dedicated community leader who is being honored as an inductee into 
the San Mateo County Women's Hall of Fame.
  Bernadette Plotnikoff began her career in education as a teacher at 
Carlmont High School in 1953. She has devoted herself professionally 
and in all her volunteer activities to educating children and teaching 
the community about child abuse and neglect. Through her work on county 
commissions and task forces, she has helped make San Mateo County a 
leader on issues affecting children. Ms. Plotnikoff has created several 
programs to benefit children, including the Male Adolescent Awareness 
Program to help sexually abused boys overcome the trauma associated 
with abuse.
  Mr. Speaker, Bernadette Plotnikoff 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.
