                       Thursday, October 6, 2005

  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate Judie Donaldson for all of the work she has done for her 
community.
  Ms. Donaldson spent many years working in the academia world before 
entering the nonprofit sector full time. Moving from California, she 
found herself in Pittsburgh serving as the executive director of 
Grantmakers of Western Pennsylvania, an organization that provides 
education, networking and other resources to philanthropic 
organizations.
  Her work for this organization earned her the 2005 Athena Award. The 
award is presented by the Greater Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce and 
the Allegheny Conference on Community Development. Ms. Donaldson was 
one of six finalists for the award.
  I ask my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to 
join me in honoring Ms. Donaldson for her work and dedication to the 
community. It is an honor to represent the Fourth Congressional 
District of Pennsylvania and a pleasure to salute such a principled 
people in western Pennsylvania.
