                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, October 5, 2011

  Mr. AUSTRIA. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the people of Ohio's Seventh 
Congressional District, I rise today to recognize Ms. Jan Dobo for her 
induction into the Greene County Women's Hall of Fame.
  Ms. Jan Dobo along with five other candidates were selected from a 
pool of many worthy women to receive this honor, and thus, she was 
nominated for her great endeavors in girl scouting.
  Ms. Dobo has provided countless travel opportunities and taught 
valuable skills to hundreds of Junior, Cadette and Senior Girl Scouts 
for well over 30 years and on-going to this day. Despite suffering a 
debilitating stroke while on a scouting campout, Jan has continued to 
be deeply involved. Typically, Girl Scout Troops are organized within 
communities, but Jan and co-leader Sandy Skinn, have always maintained 
an open troop and allowed any girl to join without consideration of 
where she lived. The troop has had a reputation for working hard with 
women in order for them to achieve Gold Awards which is equivalent of 
an Eagle Scout in Boy Scouting. Jan has also volunteered her home over 
the last 30 years to be the Girl Scout Cookie Cupboard for the area. 
Jan has received many awards for her service, including the Thanks II 
Badge--the highest award to volunteers in Scouting.
  Thus, with great pride, I congratulate Ms. Jan Dobo for her exemplary 
service to Greene County and extend best wishes for the future.
