  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to join 
me in recognizing the achievements of Lenore Croudy. A Birthday Tribute 
will be held on March 30th in Flint Michigan in her honor.
  In addition to being a dear friend, Lenore Croudy is a tremendous 
asset to the flint community. She was an educator for the Flint 
Community Schools for over 40 years. During that time she worked as a 
teacher, instructional specialist, assistant principal, assistant dean, 
Director of the Reading, Language Arts and Humanities Department, and 
Steward for Resource and Information. Prior to her retirement she also 
served as President of the Congress of Flint School Administrators.
  Lenore has also served as a member of the Mott Community College 
Board of Trustees for over 20 years. Re-elected to her 4th term in 
2005, she has been the board chairperson since 1995. Recognized by her 
peers, Lenore has served on the National Board of Directors and as 
Central Region Chairperson for the Association of Community College 
Trustees. She is active with the YWCA of Flint, Center for the Visually 
Impaired, Salvation Army, Flint Rotary Club, Voluntary Action Center, 
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Boy Scouts of America Tall Pine Council, 
Hundred Club of Flint, and Flint Chapter of the NAACP. She is also the 
founder of the Youth Leadership Institute. In appreciation of her 
accomplishments, Lenore has received numerous awards including the 
Governor's Service Award in 2007--the George Romney Lifetime 
Achievement Award.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I ask the House of 
Representatives to join me in applauding Lenore Croudy. I have known 
Lenore for many years and she is always compassionate, focused, 
faithful, and dedicated to improving the lives of those around her. Her 
enthusiasm for serving others is contagious and I am proud to call her 
my ``lifetime'' friend. I wish her a happy birthday and many, many 
more.
