                       RECOGNIZING LYNN AZZOPARDI

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JACKIE SPEIER-

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 28, 2010

  Ms. SPEIER. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor Lynn Azzopardi for her 
work with the Millbrae Lions Club. She has been such a tireless 
volunteer for the past seven and one-half years that some may find it 
hard to believe that she also works full-time as the administrative 
assistant in the Kidney Transplant division

at Stanford University Medical Clinic in addition to being a busy 
mother and grandmother.
  For the past year Lynn has served as president of the Lions Club 
where she led the acquisition of a vehicle outfitted to be a mobile 
kitchen and later used as a ``first response'' vehicle, not only for 
Millbrae, but for San Mateo County. Most notably she is the first woman 
to complete one year of service as president of the Millbrae Lions 
Club.
  The list of projects that Lynn has been involved in is quite 
impressive. The Opportunity Scholarship Program focuses on students who 
need an extra boost to meet training and educational goals for future 
employment or study. The City of Hope Program funds cancer treatment 
and research. The Family Assistance Program helps families with a need 
for food, clothing and financial aid. She also chaired a pancake 
breakfast committee that raised money for schools and their students.
  Lynn epitomizes the motto of the International Lions Club: We Serve! 
And therefore, Madam Speaker, I deem that is only fitting for this 
house to extend its thanks to Lynn Azzopardi as she was honored in 
Millbrae on June 19, 2010 for completing her term as club president.
