                       Wednesday, March 25, 2009

  Mr. TOWNS. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Zenobia 
White.
  Zenobia always knew that after high school she wanted to do something 
meaningful. After successfully completing four years at Beach Channel 
High School in Far Rockaway, New York with honors, she enlisted with 
the United States Army as an Army Supply Specialist and served four 
years in Germany.
  After leaving the Army, Zenobia worked for the New York City 
Corrections Department working in prison complexes across the city 
including Riker's Island, Brooklyn's Men's House of Detention and Kings 
County Hospital's prison ward.
  Zenobia White married James White and the couple had two children, 
Daryl and Jameha White.
  Ms. White continued to work for New York City with the Health and 
Hospital Corporation and the Metro Plus Health Plan. In this position 
she enrolled over two hundred families for the East New York D&TC. As a 
recognized community activist, she joined the community board of the 
East New York D&TC, where she remains active.
  Ms. White now works as a Medicare sales representative for the Emblem 
health plan, where working for senior citizens has become one of her 
greatest joys.
  Zenobia White holds the position of Vice President for Sister Sister 
In-law, a women's group which assists and mentors young women in their 
communities.
  Please join me, Madam Speaker, in recognizing Ms. White's proven 
record in service to her community.
