                       Tuesday, October 21, 2003

  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you today on behalf of the 
citizens of Davison, MI, to recognize an outstanding leader in the 
community. On November 10, 2003, the council members of Davison will 
honor Mayor Kay Ann E. Adair for 18 years of dedicated service to the 
people of Davison.
  Kay Ann E. Adair was born in my hometown of Flint, MI, on October 16, 
1943. She graduated from Swartz Creek high school. Her political career 
began in 1985, when she became the first female to serve on the Davison 
City council. During that time she also became a member of the Davison 
Planning Commission, where she served until 1987, and then subsequently 
became an active member on the Senior Citizens Authority as chairwoman. 
In 1993, Kay Ann E. Adair made her mark in history, she became the 
first elected female mayor of Davison, she has maintained the post 
every since. During her tenure she has sustained membership on several 
boards, including the Genesee County Growth Alliance. In 1999 she had 
the honor of chairing the Small Cities and Villages gathering. Mayor 
Adair can also be credited with founding the Davison Beautification 
Committee. As mayor, she has become a beacon of hope for Davison. Her 
exceptional enthusiasm, strength and leadership skills have helped to 
make this city a better place. Mayor Adair is a tremendously respected 
individual. She is always willing to lend a helping hand or advice 
whenever needed. Her love for the community shows through her countless 
efforts. Upon retiring Mayor Adair will continue to work with the 
community, but as a spiritual leader. She is the Lay Pastor for the 
Mundy Church, located in Mundy Township.
  Aside from being an outstanding leader and role model, Mayor Adair is 
also a devoted wife to her husband, Gary and a supportive mother to her 
daughter Sarah.
  Mr. Speaker, as a Member of Congress, I ask my colleagues in the 
108th Congress to please join me in congratulating Mayor Adair for 
service well done. Mayor Adair has been a positive influence on the 
city of Davison for the past 18 years. She has served her community 
with zeal and compassion. I wish her all the best as she begins this 
new phase of her life.
