                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 13, 2010

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Martha Schmidt 
for being the recipient of the Inspiration Award at the 2010 Humboldt 
County Spirit Awards.
  The Humboldt County Spirit Awards were established to recognize and 
honor outstanding groups and individuals who have worked for the 
benefit of all citizens of Humboldt County, to celebrate the 
accomplishments and activities of our communities, to acknowledge the 
value of volunteerism in the county, and to have a positive impact on 
community spirit.
  Annually included in the Spirit Awards, the Inspiration Award is 
presented to an individual with a ``can do'' attitude who is involved 
in all facets of the community both as a leader and team player.
  Madam Speaker, I am honored to represent Martha Schmidt in the United 
States Congress. I know that my colleagues join me in commending her 
for her sincere dedication to establishing a better community and wish 
her continued success well into the future.

                          ____________________
