                         Tuesday, June 18, 2002

  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Cynthia Wilbanks and Joetta Mial on being named Women of Distinction by 
the Girl Scouts of the Huron Valley Council of Ann Arbor, Michigan.
  Cynthia and Joetta were awarded this distinguished honor for their 
excellence in business ethics and volunteerism through a philosophy 
which parallels that of the Girl Scout movement. Currently Cynthia is 
the Vice President of Government Relations at the University of 
Michigan. Joetta is a retired Ann Arbor Huron High School principle, 
and began her career as a teacher in the school system. Both women are 
intensely involved as leaders in the community, serving as members of 
numerous organizations to enhance the well-being of the Ann Arbor 
population. Their dedication should serve as inspiration to the entire 
community, reminding us that service is an important part of American 
life.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Cynthia 
Wilbanks and Joetta Mial on being named Women of Distinction. We wish 
them continued success in their future endeavors.
