  Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Holly 
Finkelstein for her dedication to improving the health and well-being 
of children and families in our community and her involvement with the 
Community Health Initiative Napa County.
  Ms. Finkelstein has served three terms on the Board of Directors for 
Community Health Initiative Napa County. She has been a member of the 
Executive Committee as Treasurer, Secretary and Vice President. She 
currently serves as the Fundraising Chair. Ms. Finkelstein has been a 
passionate supporter of the Community Health Initiative's mission to 
ensure children and their families are covered by health insurance and 
have access to health care services. Since 2005 Community Health 
Initiative Napa County has enrolled 18,000 children and their families, 
individuals and seniors in health insurance.
  Ms. Finkelstein is involved in our community in other ways as well. 
She has served on multiple committees for the Napa Valley Vintners 
Association and is a graduate of Leadership Napa Valley, a Napa Valley 
Chamber of Commerce program. In 2007, Ms. Finkelstein was named one of 
the ``Forty Under 40'' Business Leaders by the North Bay Business 
Journal.
  Ms. Finkelstein is married to her husband Judd, with whom she has two 
daughters, Ruby and Talulah, who have followed in their mother's 
footsteps by spreading kindness through their Be Kind campaign.
  Mr. Speaker, Ms. Finkelstein is a giving person to those in need and 
her love for others is contagious. She has been an essential part of 
the Board of Directors for Community Health Initiative Napa County for 
nine years. Therefore, it is fitting and proper that we honor her here 
today.
