                        Thursday, April 2, 2009

  Mr. WOLF. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the service of Maud F. 
Robinson to the town of Vienna, Virginia. Maud will be retiring from 
the Vienna Town Council in June, after serving on the council since 
2000.
  Maud and her husband, Charles A. Robinson, Jr., moved to Vienna in 
1951. Since that time, Mrs. Robinson has been involved in every aspect 
of life in the town. She has served as president of various local 
organizations, including the Vienna Women's Club, the Ayr Hill Garden 
Club, and Historic Vienna, Inc. She was a founding member and president 
of the town's library. She served as a member of Vienna's first 
Architectural Review Board and on the town's Business Liaison 
Committee. Among other honors, Mrs. Robinson was selected as Citizen of 
the Year in Vienna in 1993 and 2000.
  Mrs. Robinson was appointed to the Vienna Town Council in 2000, to 
fill the term of Jane Seeman, who was elected town mayor following the 
death of Charles Robinson. Mr. Robinson served as town mayor for 27 
years. Mrs. Robinson was reelected four times to her seat on the 
council, for a total of nine years.
  Mrs. Robinson is a graduate of Smith College and attended the 
University of Virginia Law School. She served as a WAVE lieutenant, 
junior grade, in the United States Navy.
  Maud Robinson's commitment to Vienna's citizens and business 
community is unparalleled. She is a woman of the highest moral 
integrity and is a true role model for all of Vienna's citizens. I ask 
my colleagues to join with me today in honoring Maud Robinson.
