                       Friday, December 23, 2016

  Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay 
tribute to Kimberly N. Mullarkey, who is being honored with Taminent 
Regular Democratic Club's Gloria D'Amico Trailblazer Award at the 
Club's 85th Annual Dinner Dance. Kimberly Mullarkey is not only a third 
generation Astorian, but also a third generation member of the Taminent 
Regular Democratic Club. Ms. Mullarkey is a firm believer in the 
importance of giving back to her community, a value that was instilled 
in her by her family and drives much of the work she does today.
  Ms. Mullarkey graduated from Dominican College in 2002 with a 
Bachelor of Science in Social Science and a minor in Politics as well 
as a concentration in History and Psychology. During her time at 
Dominican College, Ms. Mullarkey found her love of the performing arts, 
acting in lead roles in Grease, Nunsense and The 50 Years of Aquin 
Players. After graduating, Ms. Mullarkey began her consulting career at 
The Dryfoos Group and later worked at Constantinople & Vallone.
  Ms. Mullarkey joined the Taminent Regular Democratic Club as a young 
adult. She later became Corresponding Secretary for the Club and is 
currently serving as Women's Club President.
  Taminent Regular Democratic Club was founded in 1933, making it one 
of the oldest clubs in New York City. The Club addresses all things 
that affect the community of Astoria. Also, the Club plays a large role 
in local elections by backing politicians that they feel fit the 
community's best interest.
  In addition to her work at the Club, Kimberly Mullarkey also served 
four terms on The Board of Alumni Directors at Dominican College and 
she has worked on numerous political races throughout her life. Ms. 
Mullarkey considers her most rewarding work, however, to be her role as 
her father's caregiver and advocate.
  Ms. Mullarkey has demonstrated tireless dedication to her community 
throughout her entire adult life. Kimberly Mullarkey consistently 
devotes her time and effort to improving the lives of those around her, 
with great success.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating Kimberly 
N. Mullarkey, a New York woman who makes an extraordinary difference in 
her community of Astoria, Queens.
