                        Thursday, March 9, 2000

  Mr. KUYKENDALL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to some 
exceptional women from my district being honored tomorrow as the South 
Bay Women of the Year. The honorees are Mrs. Katharine Ward Clemmer, 
the Honorable Katy Geissert, Ms. Jill Gomes, Mrs. Renee Henry, Mrs. 
Pamela Kenoyer, Mrs. Elaine Klessig, Mrs. Mary Jane Schoenheider, and 
Mrs. Darla Voorhees.
  This honor is given to several remarkable women each year by the 
Switzer Center School and Clinical Services located in the City of 
Torrance, which serves children with learning, emotional, or social 
challenges. The 2000 South Bay Women of the Year Awards are presented 
to women who are making a difference in the lives of others. These 
individuals are being recognized for selflessly giving their time and 
efforts to improve the community. They are making an impact in the 
lives of others, not because they have to, but because they want to.
  I thank the Switzer Center for recognizing these women and their 
significant accomplishments. I commend these eight women for their 
important contributions to the South Bay community. They have touched 
the lives of many. I congratulate them on receiving this award.
