                        HON. MICHAEL C. BURGESS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 16, 2006

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the service and 
commitment of Ms. Kathy Aljoe of Flower Mound, Texas. Ms, Aljoe's 
zealous and passionate spirit towards community service warrants 
recognition. Recently, she retired as the town's longest-tenured 
employee after 31 years of service.
  Kathy Aljoe started working for the City of Flower Mound on July 16, 
1975 as an administrative assistant to the town manager. When Ms. Aljoe 
started working for Flower Mound, she was one of only seven town 
employees--Flower Mound only had 1,600 residents, The town now has 
grown to 62,000 residents, and Kathy has had her hand in many parts of 
the development throughout her career, in particular with the planning 
services division. Ms. Aljoe's work has been so influential, that the 
Town of Flower Mound has announced February 24th as Kathy Aljoe Day.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor that I stand here today to 
recognize Ms. Kathy Aljoe, who has dedicated her career to her 
community. Ms. Aljoe's admirable commitment to the Town of Flower Mound 
is greatly appreciated. I am honored to represent her in Congress, and 
I hope that others will follow in her steps of service to their 
community.
