  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Women's History 
Month. Each year, we pay special tribute to the accomplishments made by 
our nation's most distinguished women during the month of March.
  Today I pay tribute to Nanette Fish of Temple City, an extraordinary 
woman of California's 29th congressional district. A 26-year Temple 
City resident, Nanette's passion for volunteerism is evident in the 
countless organizations to which she has donated her time and energy 
and she has made the city of Temple City a better place to live.
  Nanette began volunteering with Temple City's schools in the early 
1990s, when her children were young. She served on the Executive Boards 
of the local PTAs, the Temple City Youth Football Board, the Temple 
City High School Ramrodders Football Executive Board, and the Temple 
City American Little League Board. In addition, Ms. Fish was a ``Team 
Mom'' for Temple City Youth Cheer, AYSO Soccer, Junior Varsity Girls 
Basketball, Junior Girls Softball and Youth Football, served as 
Chairperson and Member of the Cloverly Elementary School Site Council, 
volunteered for 5 years on the High School Grad Nite Committee, and was 
a Western Association of Schools and Colleges' Parent/Community 
Committee member for Temple City High School. In 2010, she received the 
Temple City Unified School District's Temple City High School VIP 
Volunteer Award.
  Currently, Ms. Fish, employed as the Temple City Camellia Festival 
Director, finds time to volunteer for several organizations including 
the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association, Saint Luke Catholic 
Church and the Temple City Chamber of Commerce, where she serves on the 
Miss Temple City Pageant Committee, and the chamber's Golf Tournament 
Committee. In 2009 and 2010 she received the chamber's Community 
Service Award. In addition, Nanette is a Temple City Parks and 
Recreation Commissioner and enjoys participating in various fundraising 
walks for cancer awareness.
  Nanette and her husband, Kevin, have been married for 26 years and 
have 2 children, Cameron and Lainie.
  I ask all Members to join me today in honoring an outstanding woman 
of my district, Nanette Fish, for her selfless service to the 
community.
