                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. PATRICK J. MURPHY

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, December 17, 2007

  Mr. PATRICK J. MURPHY of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
honor Mrs. Janet Myers on her retirement after decades of dedicated 
service to her community.
  Twenty four years ago, Janet Myers was elected to the Penndel Borough 
Council in Bucks County Pennsylvania. While on the council, Mrs. Myers 
served her community on the police, finance, building and maintenance 
and streets committees. Her leadership and activism after more than two 
dozen years will be missed.
  Fourteen years ago, Mrs. Myers was one of the founders of the Penndel 
Activities Committee, which organizes a number of community events each 
year. Some of the community events include annual festivals, such as 
the Holiday Tree Lighting Program on the first Saturday in December, 
the Penndel Holiday Decorating Contest, the Easter egg hunt, a senior's 
birthday dinner and the Halloween parade. Mrs. Myers shaped the Penndel 
community with wonderful festivities every year and continued to make 
an impact even after she left the Activities Committee.
  Madam Speaker, we are proud to have Mrs. Myers as a leader in our 
community and with her retirement, she leaves behind legacy that many 
will try to follow. Her devotion, selflessness, and commitment to the 
residents of Penndel Borough in Bucks County, Pennsylvania is 
unwavering. I ask my colleagues to join me today in thanking Mrs. Myers 
for improving the lives of so many and as we, in Bucks County, wish her 
well for the future.
