                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 20, 2010

  Mr. McCOTTER. Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor and acknowledge 
Ms. Jean Telep, upon her receipt of the 2010 Suburban Republican 
Women's Tribute to Women Award.
  A registered nurse employed by Providence Hospital Senior Wellness 
Center, Jean holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing, a Master of 
Science in Administration and a Business Certificate in dementia care, 
all from Madonna University.
  Jean has been actively involved in promoting the conservative 
principles of the Republican Party in Michigan. She has supported and 
worked diligently on several campaigns of conservative candidates and 
as a poll worker during the November 2008 election.
  More than 3 years ago, Jean became a member of the Suburban 
Republican Women's Club where she serves as Americanism Chairman. 
Actively recruiting for and reporting regularly to the general 
membership, Jean is a deserving recipient of the Suburban Republican 
Women's Club's highest honor, the 2010 Tribute to Women Award. 
Importantly, Jean is one of the founding members of Martha & Caty Tea 
Ladies, a group dedicated to providing a meeting place for conservative 
women to network while learning about the foundation of our country and 
empowering them to actively promote the conservative agenda to all 
levels of elected officials. Jean is also in the process of applying 
for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution.
  Madam Speaker, Jean's leadership and courage of convictions are an 
inspiration to her peers in the Suburban Republican Women's Club and 
our entire community. Thus, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring 
Ms. Jean Telep for her selfless service to our community and our 
country.
