                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, November 22, 2002

  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize and celebrate the Monmouth 
Council of Girl Scouts, Inc. 2002 Women of Distinction honorees and 
their significant contributions to Central New Jersey.
   For forty years, through its efforts, the Monmouth Council of Girl 
Scouts has served tens of thousands of young women across Central New 
Jersey. This year's women of Distinction honorees exhibit the 
altruistic ideals that our Nation needs now, more than ever. These 
ideals, no doubt grew from their involvement in Girl Scouts and the 
grounding principles of the Girl Scout Promise and the Girl Scout Law 
which read as follows:

                         The Girl Scout Promise

       On my honor, I will try, to serve God and my country, to 
     help people at all times, and to live by the Girl Scout Law.


                           The Girl Scout Law

       I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and 
     helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and 
     responsible for what I say and do; And to, respect my self 
     and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the 
     world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout.

       The 2002 Women of Distinction Honorees are Carole Robinson 
     for her inspiring Girl Scout spirit, Anna Diaz-White and 
     Paulette Roberts for their professional excellence and Sister 
     Ellen Kelly for her dedication and service to our community. 
     As we celebrate women's History Month, we honor each of these 
     recipients for their hard work and dedication and we 
     celebrate the legacy they have created for women and women's 
     history in Central New Jersey.
       Mr. Speaker, again, I rise to celebrate, honor and command 
     these outstanding New Jerseyans. I have personally observed 
     the effective work of some of these honorees and I ask my 
     colleagues to join me in recognizing their invaluable 
     contributions to our community and to New Jersey.
