    THE SAGINAW COUNTY COMMISSION ON AGING HONORS MS. SUE KALTENBACH

 Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, on March 31, 2000, the Saginaw 
County Commission on Aging will hold a luncheon honoring four women who 
have selflessly dedicated a significant amount of their time and their 
energy to improving the community of Saginaw, Michigan. Their 
tremendous efforts over the years have not only touched a great many 
lives, they have truly changed lives, whether by providing those in 
need with food and clothing, saving seniors hundreds of dollars in 
medical insurance payments, mentoring elementary school students, or 
helping people to understand and accept a culture different from their 
own. Thus, I rise today on behalf not only of myself, but also of the 
entire Saginaw County, Michigan, community, to sincerely thank Ms. 
Hazel Wilson, Ms. Mary Flannery, Ms. Sue Kaltenbach, and Ms. Yoko 
Mossner for their incredible efforts.
  Ms. Sue Kaltenbach has been a resident of Saginaw County for thirty-
seven years. During this time, she has served the Saginaw Township 
Community School Board in many ways: as president, vice president, 
secretary and treasurer. She was also once president of the Saginaw 
County School Board Association, a vice president of the Assistance 
League of Saginaw, president of the Saginaw County Lawyer's Auxiliary. 
In addition, Ms. Kaltenbach served the Junior League of Saginaw Valley 
as a corresponding secretary and the Street Smarts Investment Club as 
recorder.
  Ms. Kaltenbach has been a mentor at Coulter Elementary School since 
1996, as part of the H.O.S.T.S. program. She participates on the 
Election Scheduling Committee for Saginaw County, and is involved with 
numerous educational programs dealing with art, literature, drug abuse 
prevention and law related education. She is also chairperson of Family 
in Action, a former member of the Christian Service Commission and the 
Paris Council and a member at St. Stephen's Church.
  Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Ms. Kaltenbach is that she 
has managed to do all of this while placing her primary focus upon 
raising her own three children. Mr. President, on behalf of the entire 
United States Senate, I applaud Ms. Sue Kaltenbach for her outstanding 
contributions to her community.
