  Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor that I 
recognize the accomplishments of Joan Weichmann for her tireless work 
in the community as she is honored by the Amherst Women's Interclub

such as her leadership as the former President of both the Amherst 
Dance Club and the Victorian Dance Company. Additionally, she formerly 
served as Vice President of both the German-American Society and the 
Club Lorelei German Club. Mrs. Weichmann continues to dedicate her time 
to these organizations as a board member.
   Currently, Mrs. Weichmann is President of the Buffalo Federation of 
Women's Club, a member of the Bell Ski Club Board, the Lederhosen Ski 
Club, Second Vice President of Shea's Spotlight, Friends of Amherst

Village of Williamsville with her husband Ron and their three dogs, two 
Afghans and one Greyhound.
   Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I recognize Joan Weichmann

her the best in all her future endeavors.
