  Mr. MEEHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Kitty Jurciukonis for 
her achievements as a volunteer, professional, and elected official in 
southeastern Pennsylvania. In recognition of these accomplishments, 
Mrs. Jurciukonis was posthumously awarded the Women of Achievement 
Award from the Delaware County Women's Commission.
   Kitty worked as a tireless advocate for her community, serving as 
member of the Springfield Township Board of Commissioners for nineteen 
years, two of which were spent as President. She was also a leader in 
the Suburban West Realtors Association, the Springfield School District 
Home and School Association, and Community Education Council. She even 
volunteered her time and talents to help open the Springfield School 
District's Parent Resource Center.
   The current Springfield Township Commissioner says of Kitty: ``I was 
humbled and honored to follow in her footsteps. . .She worked 
tirelessly with integrity and enthusiasm for the Township and the 
people she served.''
   I honor all of the work Kitty accomplished in our community and the 
trail she blazed for the women inspired by her achievements.
