                        Tuesday, January 7, 2003

  Mr. STARK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Betty Moose for twenty-
one years of exemplary service to the San Lorenzo Unified School 
District as a member of the Board of Education.
  First elected to the Board in 1981, Betty was elected by her fellow 
Board members to serve as president of the Board from December 2000 to 
December 2001. Previously, she was vice-president and clerk of the 
Board.
  As a Board Member, Betty has been strongly committed to helping 
children in all aspects of their development and education. She has 
proudly represented the San Lorenzo Unified School District on numerous 
local and state committees and commissions. She is especially pleased 
with her accomplishments as a 17-year member of the Hayward Area 
Shoreline Planning Agency and as a member of the San Leandro 
Collaborative for Children, Youth, and their Families.
  Betty has also worked on the San Lorenzo Unified School District Drug 
Advisory Council, the Citizens Advisory Committee to the Sheriff, the 
San Lorenzo Area Youth Advisory Commission, and the California School 
Boards Association Legislative Network.
  An active and dynamic community activist, Betty has served on the 
boards of many organizations. She has been president of the San Lorenzo 
Area Friends of the Library, the Gray Panthers of Southern Alameda 
County, and the San Lorenzo Heritage Society. She is a member and first 
co-chair of the National Women's Political Caucus of Southern Alameda 
County.
  Betty has also served as Vice-President of the Fairmont Hospital 
Campus Service League and the Church Women United of the Eden Area and 
Chair of the Alameda County Consumer Affairs Commission and the San 
Lorenzo Youth Resource Group. Betty's other memberships include the 
Eden Area League of Women Voters and the California Women's Association 
for Education reform.
  Betty has been married to Claude C. Moose for 56 years, and the 
couple has lived in San Lorenzo for 50 years. Their five children 
attended San Lorenzo schools, and graduated from Arroyo High School.
  I am honored to commend Betty Moose for her years of service to the 
San Lorenzo Board of Education. Although San Lorenzo will no longer 
have the benefit of Betty's wisdom and experience as a School Board 
member, I know she will continue to be involved in the

community. We look forward to her continued contributions. I value her 
longtime friendship and appreciate all she does for others.
