                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 11, 2015

  Mr. DEUTCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Ms. Annette Gumm, 
who, after years of service to Palm Beach County, is leaving the area. 
I speak for the citizens of Palm Beach County when I say that she will 
be greatly missed.
  Ms. Gumm's public service in Florida began when she moved to 
Gleneagles in 1986 following an early retirement. She quickly became 
involved in her new community by volunteering with Plumosa Elementary 
School and Delray Community Hospital. In 1992, she was asked to join 
the campaign of Burt Aaronson; and, following his victory, she served 
as the Commissioner's administrative aide for several years.
  Ms. Gumm also joined the Atlantic Democratic Club and was pivotal in 
transforming the organization into the United South County Democratic 
Club (USCDC). She has held several positions in USCDC, including 
Treasurer, Vice President, and President.
  The amount of time and effort Ms. Gumm has expended for the 
betterment of her community is truly admirable and exhibits a level of 
passion worthy of recognition. It is with great pleasure that I honor, 
my dear friend, Annette Gumm.
