  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Annie Chau, a dedicated 
community leader who is being honored as a ``Young Woman of 
Excellence'' by the San Mateo County Women's Hall of Fame.
  Annie Chau was born in Hong Kong and immigrated to the United States 
in 1991. Over the past seven years, she has made remarkable 
contributions to San Mateo County. As a San Mateo High School student, 
she has held the positions of Class Treasurer and Vice President of the 
International Club, in addition to being part of the school's math 
team, marching band, and local Amnesty International chapter. Ms. Chau 
has volunteered with children as a reading tutor, an art instructor, 
and an activity assistant. Further, she represents the youth of the 
community through her work on the San Mateo County Youth Commission and 
the Foster City Youth Advisory Council. Annie Chau has achieved a 4.0 
GPA and she has been repeatedly recognized for her academic 
accomplishments in science, math, Latin and Spanish, along with all her 
volunteer efforts.
  Mr. Speaker, Annie Chau is an outstanding leader 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 
chosen a ``Young Woman of Excellence'' by the San Mateo County Women's 
Hall of Fame.
